UAE Staycations this Eid
With Eid Al Fitr just around the corner (confirmed as Wednesday, 6 July – Sunday, 10 July for Private Sector peeps), there are some fab staycation deals to grab. So if you’re not jetting off just yet, or in fact at all this summer, then why not treat the fam to a night (or 2, or 3) away in the UAE? Swimming pools, water-parks, restaurants, spas, kids clubs – the perfect combo for lots of rest, relaxation and fun. Enjoy!
Crowne Plaza, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi
If you haven’t taken the kids to Yas Island then you must! Especially as this amazing summer offer includes unlimited access to Yas Waterworld – the best waterpark in the region and also to Ferrari World. Also included in this special family package is a stay in a superior room and complimentary breakfast for the whole fam at the hotel restaurant, Jing Asia. Such a great deal, we’re thinking of delaying our flights to Europe just to enjoy it!
