Eid Al Adha 2026 brings a four-day break starting 27 May — and Dubai has gone into full celebration mode. Whether you want a luxe beach staycation, a desert escape with falconry and camel treks, or simply the best festive buffet in town, the offers are live right now. Here is everything I have tracked down, with prices updated today.
The Shopping Sales: Up to 75% Off
The Eid sales are running across the city right now. Dubai Mall is hosting brand-wide reductions of up to 75%, with fashion, beauty and electronics all included. Mall of the Emirates and City Walk are running parallel promotions. Most sales run through to 1 June 2026 — so the long weekend itself is prime shopping time.
Dubai Mall: up to 75% across fashion, beauty and electronics (through 1 Jun)
Mall of the Emirates: Eid Festival deals — fashion, dining and entertainment
City Walk: outdoor festival atmosphere with pop-up markets and dining offers
Festive Dining: The Best Eid Buffets & Brunches
The city's hotels and restaurants are pulling out all the stops for Eid Al Adha. From traditional spit-roasted lamb feasts to multi-cuisine lavish spreads, here is where to make a reservation:
Asateer Tent at Atlantis The Palm: the legendary Eid feast — spit-roasted meats, live cooking stations, mezze and dessert spreads (from Dhs295 per person)
Al Fanar Restaurant (Festival City & JBR): Emirati Eid classics — lamb ouzi, harees and luqaimat in an authentic setting
Wafi City — Asha's & Khan Murjan: Eid specials with live music; family-friendly and central
Rove Hotels (multiple Dubai locations): complimentary buffet breakfast all Eid week for room guests
Last-Minute Staycation Deals — Still Available for Eid
As of today (25 May 2026), these confirmed staycation offers still have rooms available. Prices will change rapidly — book directly with the property:
Rove Hotels (Dubai Marina, Downtown, JBR & more): from Dhs199/night — complimentary breakfast all Eid week (25–31 May). Room-only guests receive breakfast; B&B guests upgraded to half board
Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach: 30% off room rates + free breakfast + flexible check-in/check-out
Two Palm Jumeirah partner hotels: every second night complimentary + 25% off F&B + kids under 12 stay & dine free — from Dhs350/night
Melia Desert Palm (equestrian-lifestyle resort, Al Awir): 45% off all rooms and private-pool villas + Dh100 food/drink credit + Dh100 spa credit + exclusive stables tour + complimentary fitness classes
Al Maha Desert Resort (Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve): all meals + two desert activities per guest (dune drives, camel trekking, falconry) + Dh200 spa credit included
Al Maha is my pick for the most immersive Eid experience — waking up to oryx in the dunes, falconry at dawn, and total silence from the city. It is expensive, but it is genuinely unlike anything else.
Last-minute availability confirmed as of 25 May 2026 by The National and Gulf Business. Always confirm directly with the property before booking.
Desert & Mountain Escapes Beyond the City
Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (Al Maha): wildlife-rich desert reserve — the only place where Arabian oryx roam freely in the UAE
Hatta Mountain Resort: 2-hour drive from Dubai; hiking, kayaking on Hatta Dam, mountain biking, traditional village exploration
Ras Al Khaimah — Jebel Jais: 90 minutes from Dubai at 1.7km above sea level — zip-lining, via ferrata, spectacular sunrise views
