Affordable Eid Al Adha Getaways: UAE Hotels Offer Special Deals at Dh99, Including Free Accommodation for Children
UAE residents can look forward to pocket-friendly staycation offers for Eid Al Adha 2025, as leading hotels across the country report a significant increase in staycation bookings. Budget-friendly accommodations are driving this trend, as more travelers opt for mid-market choices [1].
Nadia Purkayassta, regional head of Revenue Management at Premier Inn Middle East, stated that hotels are seeing higher occupancy than previous years, primarily due to the rise of affordable options. Guests from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are among the main contributors to this surge [1].
Convenience seems to be another crucial factor, as properties near popular attractions such as malls, theme parks, and indoor entertainment venues see increased demand [1]. Family-friendly amenities are also in high demand, with properties offering reliable service, kids' clubs, free dining for children, and other perks attracting guests [1][3][4][5].
In response to the increased demand, hotels are adjusting their pricing strategies to lure Eid travelers. Premier Inn recently introduced Weekly Summer Deals, offering a 30% discount on midweek stays in select UAE and Qatar locations, making a spontaneous local escape even more appealing [2].
According to Pranav Vohra, cluster commercial director at IHG Hotels in Dubai Festival City, the shift toward local holidays is also influenced by rising airfare prices and global inflation, making international travel more expensive [3]. However, the UAE hospitality industry is stepping up its game by offering competitive deals, diverse experiences, and world-class service, allowing guests to enjoy excellent value without the stress or cost of long-haul travel [3].
Many resorts are also enhancing their Eid offers through loyalty programs catering to families, couples, and groups. For instance, GHA DISCOVERY members can enjoy discounts on stays, select dining, resort activities, spa treatments, and more [4]. Some packages even include discounts at top Hatta attractions, such as Hatta Outdoor and the Honey Bee Farm [4].
As the official Eid Al Adha dates have yet to be confirmed, residents can begin planning their local getaways now, as their Friday and Saturday off days will provide ample time to do so [1]. With the break falling earlier than last year, residents can enjoy a relaxing local holiday before the summer vacation begins [1].
