If you are looking for a staycation for this festive season, there is still time to snap up some cool deals as many offers that run even after the long holiday. The Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE) has the Eid in Dubai campaign which offers exclusive hotel deals across the emirate from Sunday, June 16 till next Sunday, June 23.

This year the UAE government announced that the dates of the Eid Al Adha holiday for the private sector will be from Saturday, June 15, to Tuesday, June 18.

Starting late on Thursday, the airport rush was evident as many residents made a beeline to travel out of the country on the long weekend. However, many others have decided to stay put and enjoy what the country has to offer.
