Dubai: Families celebrating Eid in the UAE do not have to spend heavily to enjoy the long holiday weekend. Dubai is offering a wide range of affordable family-friendly attractions and entertainment options, with several experiences available for under Dh50 per person.
From cultural destinations and iconic landmarks to indoor festivals and entertainment complexes, residents and visitors can enjoy memorable Eid outings while staying within budget.
One of the biggest attractions this Eid is Global Village, which has extended its season until May 31. The multicultural destination is currently offering a special 4-for-1 ticket promotion at on-site counters, allowing four visitors to enter for just Dh30 in total — effectively Dh7.50 per person. The offer is valid from Sunday to Thursday.
Families looking for a full-day experience can also opt for the unlimited Carnaval rides pass priced at Dh99. Children below three years, senior citizens above 65, and People of Determination with one companion can enter free upon presenting valid identification.
Another seasonal attraction drawing visitors during the Eid break is Dubai Miracle Garden, which will close for the summer after May 31. UAE residents can access the floral attraction for Dh30 by showing a valid Emirates ID. The garden remains open daily from 9am to 9pm during the holiday period.
For those interested in panoramic city views, Dubai Frame continues to be one of the city’s most popular value-for-money attractions. Located in Zabeel Park, the architectural landmark offers sweeping views of both old and modern Dubai. Adult tickets are priced at Dh50, while children can enter for Dh20.
Families seeking a more educational outing can visit Al Shindagha Museum near Dubai Creek. The museum uses interactive exhibits and multimedia experiences to showcase the UAE’s history, including pearl diving, maritime trade, and Dubai’s transformation over the decades. Entry costs Dh10 per person.
At Expo City Dubai, visitors can explore Terra’s Bee Festival, taking place from May 29 to 31. The indoor event features guided bee tours, honey tasting sessions, candle-making workshops, tote bag decorating, and live beehive demonstrations.
Families visiting Expo City can also stop by Taqa Island, where a special Eid-linked discount is being offered during the Bee Festival weekend. Children can enjoy a 30-minute indoor play session for Dh35.
Meanwhile, food and entertainment lovers can head to Flayva Food Hall at Al Ghurair Centre in Deira. Visitors spending at least Dh50 on dining will receive 50 free arcade gaming credits and a 50 per cent discount on indoor rides at the connected Glitch Entertainment Complex.
