Are you yet to make plans for the long weekend? Trust us when we say this, you are not alone! It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to hop on a plane and travel some place exotic. The UAE has lined up a lot of wonderful local activities for the National Day weekend. So if you don’t want to step out of the country, these are some last-minute ideas for the long weekend.
Enjoy a staycation
Long weekends are a great time to go on a staycation with your family. Spend some quality time with your loved ones, feast on delectable food, take a dip in the pool and enjoy a relaxing massage. What’s not to love? We have some really great offers on hotels right now.
Dubai Parks and Resorts
Who doesn’t like some adventure on their weekends? Head to the Dubai Parks and Resorts and have a whale of a time with your dear ones. Get on the thrilling rides and let out shrieks of unadulterated joy or screams of pure horror. But if it’s the latter, we suggest that you keep it to yourself. Pssst! A little bit of adrenaline rush never hurt anyone.
Brunch out
The climate is awesome, and the outdoors has never seemed more appealing. Seize this opportunity and plan a brunch with your friends or family. And while you feast on the gorgeous food, catch up on some gossip.
An evening in global village
The global village is not only great to see the fireworks on National Day, but you can also shop till you drop. With a pavilion each representing almost every country on planet, you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to buying what you like. We bet that this retail therapy will also be a culturally-rewarding experience for you.
Celebrate at Emirates Palace
If you are thinking of celebrating the National Day in the lap of luxury, then Emirates Palace is where you should be. With an array of exciting activities such as fireworks, beach parties, festive hampers and lucky draws, this is where you should be.
