Today marks the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan in the Muslim world. The huge population of Dubai expats are one with their Emarati brothers and sisters in celebrating the occasion of Eid-Al-Fitr. The holiday is of course celebrated by having a nice time with friends and family and gift giving. Here are the places where expatriates from countries all over the world will most likely be during their two or three days away from work.
1. Malls. Dubai has plenty of beautiful malls that offer all the good things money can buy at great value. Especially during holidays, great deals and discounts are all over the place. A mall is also a great place to be in for people who want to escape the summer heat.
2. Beach. For those who really love the outdoors, not even the desert summer can keep them off Dubai’s beautiful, clean, and well-managed beaches. Alright, most of them may adjust the timing so they won’t be there at 12 noon. But expect the beach to be teeming with people around sunrise or sunset.
3. Neighboring Emirates. With family and friends scattered in the 7 emirates of the UAE, it is reasonable to expect that they will grab the couple of days away from work to meet outside Dubai. For others, this could be the perfect time to finally see the other emirates. Al Ain (a part of Abu Dhabi) has always been a popular choice because of the great view of Jebel Hafeet and the huge Al Ain Zoo, among many other attractions. The capital city of Abu Dhabi also has numerous attractions like Ferrari World and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Iceland water park in Ras Al Khaima may also be appealing to others. Or simply, they may want to go on a joy ride and discover the beauty of Umm Al Quwain, Sharjah, Fujairah and Ajman.
The UAE is a country that is already offering a lot of good things for everybody while keeping everyone thrilled for more surprises. Expats will not miss occasions such as this.
