Eid Al Adha brings one of the year's best stretches of holiday time in Dubai — and the city has no shortage of ways to mark it well. Whether you're looking for a cultural experience for the kids, a scenic balloon ride, a leisurely Italian brunch, or an elevated Arabic dinner with panoramic views, these four spots deliver the best of Eid Al Adha in Dubai this June.
OliOli: Museum of the Moon Returns for Eid
The OliOli Museum of the Moon is back in Dubai just in time for Eid Al Adha, and it's one of the most visually striking experiences in the city right now. British artist Luke Jerram's monumental travelling installation replaces the museum's usual giant inflatable kangaroo from June 14 to 21 with a detailed 5-metre replica of the moon — constructed using high-resolution NASA photographs of the lunar surface.
Kids can find out how much they'd weigh on the moon, create sand art at the interactive lightbox, and explore OliOli's permanent galleries including Air Gallery and Future Park. The Museum of the Moon is included with all general admission tickets, which start at AED 139 for 1 adult + 1 child.
For tickets and information, visit the O'holic online store or call +971 4 702 7300.
