Eid Al Adha or Feast of Sacrifice, marks an auspicious celebration to pay respect and commemorate Abraham's willingness to sacrifice in God's service, while Eid Al Fitr in Dubai should be experienced at least once during one's lifetime. 

Eid Al Fitr 2023 was celebrated on Friday, April 21. Does that mean it will be celebrated on the same day this year as well? Not at all! 

The Eid Al Fitr dates vary every year depending on the Islamic lunar calendar which works on the specific moonsights. Having said that, Eid Al Fitr 2024, UAE is expected to be celebrated on Wednesday, April 10.

A festivity is always incomplete without a dessert and what’s a better option than Luqaimat during Eid? These delightfully syrupy doughnut-style balls of dough dipped in honey always top the list of desserts for Eid Ul Fitr.

Thareed laham is a dish that reflects Emirati tradition during Eid Al Fitr. In Thareed Laham, thin layers of bread soaked in meat and vegetable broth are served along with bread and meat to explode delectable flavors in your mouth. 

Chicken Machboos is sometimes compared with Biryani. Both dishes are a combination of rice and chicken and are a must meal in Eid. Then what’s the difference? The difference lies in the chicken marinade and spice combination.
