Staying in the UAE for the long Eid Al Fitr weekend? Enjoy the festivities across Dubai with fireworks lighting up the sky almost every night.
Employees in the private sector may get a break of up to nine days, depending on when the moon is sighted. While many families are travelling during this period — especially since it comes right after schools’ spring break — there are those who opt to stay put and celebrate Eid in the country.
