Easter in Dubai 2026 is getting booked earlier than most people expected. Some of the most in-demand brunch slots are already limited, and families are locking in full-day plans days ahead of the weekend.
What started as a handful of Easter brunch options has expanded into a packed schedule across the city — dining, activities, and entertainment all rolling into one continuous day.
Brunch Reservations Are Setting the Whole Plan
Easter weekend plans across Dubai are starting with brunch, and everything else follows.
At Crescendo in Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort, the Easter Sunday brunch on April 5 runs from 1 pm to 4 pm. It includes egg hunts in the sand, chocolate treats, and Easter Bunny appearances. Children under 12 dine free, with packages starting at AED 450.
At Bungalo34 in Pearl Jumeira, Easter Beachside runs from 1 pm until sunset. Egg hunts are scheduled at 2 pm and 4 pm, with a sharing-style menu, sweets, and activities for children. Pricing starts at AED 380 per person, with children at AED 50.
Across venues, brunch is no longer a short stop — it now sets the tone for the entire day.
High-Demand Spots Are Filling First
Some Easter plans are attracting attention faster than others, especially those tied to standout locations.

These venues are already seeing early reservations as families secure preferred timings.
Resorts Are Turning Easter Into Full-Day Experiences

Family Activities Are Baked Into Every Dubai Easter Plan
Easter programming across Dubai is clearly structured around families. Egg hunts, games, crafts, and children's entertainment feature in nearly every offering.
At Jumeirah Beach Hotel, the Easter schedule includes beachside dining, live performances including The Little Mermaid, kids' activities, and movie nights — alongside wellness options for adults.
