Dubai gears up for grand Eid celebrations

As Eid al Adha draws near, Dubai is gearing up for eight days of spectacular citywide celebrations.

Organised by Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), everyone in the emirate and beyond is invited to celebrate Eid in Dubai from June  28 to July 6, with spectacular firework displays, live entertainment, mall activations, retail offers, life-changing raffles and prizes, and even a family outing to Modesh World.

With Eid celebrations coinciding with the opening weekend of Dubai Summer Surprises, there’s never been a more exciting start to summer in the city.  

MUSIC AND SHOWS

The hottest ticket in town is a one-night-only performance of Hussain Al Jassmi and Kadim Al Sahir, two of the Arab world’s most popular singers, live at the Coca-Cola Arena on July 1.

On the following evening at the same venue, again for one night only, Dubai will welcome the legendary performer and Saudi icon Mohamed Abdo.

The ‘Artist of the Arabs’  will take to the stage for a spectacular Eid show on July 2, beginning at 8:00 pm.

Fans of comedy won’t want to miss out on UK headline comedians Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe at Dubai Opera on July 3 for a live performance of their popular Parenting Hell podcast.

FIREWORKS 

The family favourite Dubai Parks and Resorts is the place to go for celebratory pyrotechnics over Eid Al Adha, with five nights of spectacular shows, every evening at 9:00 pm from June 27 through to July 1.  

Or head down to Dubai Festival City to catch fireworks lighting up the skies on the second day of Eid at 9:00 pm on June 29.

The immersive, ever-changing laser and light show, Imagine will also take place daily after sunset starting from June 28.
