The four-day Eid Al Adha holiday kicks off this Thursday, July 30th, and with the country having eased many restrictions over the last couple of months, there are plenty of things you can get up to. Going for large family gatherings is still not recommended, however, you and your littles can still use this Eid to at least bond with each other.
Head out and visit offbeat and quirky spots around the UAE, explore these reopened attractions, or check out our list below of fun things to do with the family this Eid Al Adha, both in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Shows & Activities
1. La Perle
La Perle is one-of-kind theatrical experience created and produced by the famous artistic director Franco Dragone. The theatre itself is an enormous playground, and one can expect to see a cast of 65 artists acting, dancing and indulging in gravity-defying stunts, both on the ground and in water. With La Perle being a permanent fixture in Al Habtoor City, this is one show not to be missed.
As part of Dubai Summer Surprises, you can watch daily shows of La Perle, at 6pm and 9pm, with tickets starting from just Dhs169 per person, including a free popcorn and soft drink. All seating will be allocated by La Perle to ensure social distancing requirements are adhered to.
