Fun Outdoor Activities in Dubai during Eid

Summer is here and Dubai has welcomed back Tourists once again after months of lockdown. Which also means that we too, are able to go outside and do our favourite outdoor activities again. And as we celebrate Eid Al Adha, we can now bond with our family and friends for the long weekend!

Dubai has been known as an extravagant concrete city, but it is also a beautiful desert landscape with its own natural wonders for those who seek an adventure. Dubai has slowly become popular with their desert safaris, deep sea, and waterparks.

I bet everyone is excited to head outside and enjoy the outdoors once again. If you are a resident of Dubai or a tourist visiting for a few days, you will appreciate the Emirate more if you experience Dubai in one of these fun-filled activities. But before you hit the roads, please remember to keep safe and follow physical distancing measures. Here are seven fun outdoor activities in Dubai you can do during Eid:
