Eid Al Etihad (UAE National Day) falls on 2nd December each year, but festivities across the city are already under way. With most residents enjoying a long weekend from 29th November to 2nd December, it is a good time to head out and join in the celebrations.
Dubai Mall is hosting National Day celebrations from 1st December to 3rd December. Guests can watch Emirati and Khaleeji dance performances in various areas of the mall from 2pm onwards.
The schedule:
Don’t forget, the world’s largest mall is also home to plenty of entertainment, so there’s no shortage of things to do. Visit Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo if you want to explore marine life, catch a new movie at Reel Cinemas (opt for the Platinum Suites if you fancy a five-star experience), lace up a pair of skates for a session at Dubai Ice Rink, or tuck into Asian comfort food at one of Chinatown’s many restaurants.
Located at Dubai Mall. For more information, visit their website.
