Still a number of airlines are offering travelers from Dubai and Abu Dhabi special deals and great discounts on return airfares to various destinations. All you have to do is do a little research and pick up your dream vacation. Or, you can at least see what we’ve found online.
Every year, the UAE is celebrating Eid Al Adha with festivities, fireworks, lots of shows and concerts and a public, non-working holiday for employees. Whether you are taking a couple of days or a whole week off, this year you can book your vacation or at least your flight early and enjoy the savings offered online.
