01

Eid 2027 dates and how many days off you get

Both Eids follow the Islamic lunar calendar, so they move about 11 days earlier every year and are fixed only when the moon is sighted. In 2027 Eid al-Fitr is expected in the second week of March and Eid al-Adha in the middle of May. The UAE government announces the exact public holiday a few days before each Eid, and we update this page the same day.

Eid al-Fitr packages: March trips, spring break included

March is a good month to travel from the UAE. The Caucasus is cool and fresh, Europe is coming out of winter, and the Maldives and Sri Lanka are still in their dry season. For families, the big change is spring break: when it sits next to Eid al-Fitr, a four-day holiday can become ten days or more, which is enough for Europe or a two-centre trip.

Where Eid al-Fitr trips work in March. Weather is typical for the month, not a forecast.

Our Georgia trips for Eid stay in Tbilisi with a day out to Kazbegi or Gudauri, where there is often still snow in March. The full Georgia tour package shows longer options with Kakheti and Batumi. For a city break with the shortest flight time, the Azerbaijan tour package covers Baku's old city, the seafront and a day trip to Gobustan or the mountains.

Families using spring break can look further. The Paris and Switzerland group above was our 2026 Eid al-Fitr departure, with Disneyland Paris and Mt Titlis in one coach tour. It needs a Schengen visa, so start the application as soon as you decide. See all our Europe tour packages from the UAE and the Schengen visa from Abu Dhabi and Dubai service.

03

Eid al-Adha packages: May trips

By mid-May the UAE is hot, so Eid al-Adha trips lean towards green mountains and cool evenings. Central Asia and the Caucasus are at their freshest, with long days and snow still on the high peaks. Our 2026 Eid al-Adha group went to Kyrgyzstan, and we also ran a short Jeddah getaway for those who wanted the Red Sea without a long flight.

    Day 1: Arrive in Bishkek

    Meet our representative at Manas International Airport and check in. A free evening to walk to a local market.

  2. 02

    Day 2: Bishkek city

    Parks, monuments and bazaars in the capital, with time for local food.

  3. 03

    Day 3: Chon-Kemin Valley

    Drive to the valley for a night in a yurt cabin at Ala-Kush resort, with lunch and dinner included.

  4. 04

    Day 4: Chon-Kemin and back to Bishkek

    Morning in the gorge, then the drive back to the city.

  5. 05

    Day 5: Ala Archa and Chunkurchak

    Ala Archa National Park and the Kashka-Suu base with its cable car, then Chunkurchak Gorge.

The Jeddah trip is three nights with a night drive along the Corniche, a half-day city tour of the old town and a full day at Bayada Island on the Red Sea.

04

Where to go in 4, 5 or 6 days

With only four days, flight time decides the trip. Every hour in the air is an hour less at the destination, and on Eid you also lose time to busy airports. As a rule, keep the flight under four hours for a four-day Eid, and save long flights for when spring break or leave adds days.

Visa-free and e-visa picks so there is no wait

Eid dates are confirmed late, which leaves little time for a visa that needs an embassy appointment. The safest Eid trips are places where your passport, or your UAE residence, lets you enter visa-free, on arrival or with an e-visa issued in a few days. Which group you fall into depends on your nationality, so we check each passport in your group before you book.

06

Prices over Eid and why they rise

Eid is the busiest travel window of the year after the summer break. Most UAE residents get the same days off, so they all want to fly out on the same one or two evenings. Airlines and hotels price for that demand, and the cheaper seats on each flight go first. The late moon-sighting announcement adds to it: many people wait for the official dates and then book at once.

Eid prices per person, sharing a double room, with flights and hotel. Dated and confirmed before you pay.

  • Fly out the evening before the holiday starts; it is often cheaper than the first morning of Eid.
  • Come back a day early or a day late to avoid the busiest return flight.
  • Pick a less obvious destination, such as Kyrgyzstan instead of Georgia, when Georgia fares spike.
  • Book a group departure, where the flight seats were bought months in advance.
  • Compare a smaller hotel in the same area with the big chain hotel; the gap is widest in holiday weeks.

07

Family and group Eid trips

Eid is a family holiday, and many of our Eid bookings are three generations travelling together or several families from the same building or office. These trips need more planning than a couple's break: rooms close together, a pace that suits grandparents and toddlers, halal food, and one person who knows the whole plan.

Checklist

  • Family rooms or connecting rooms, requested at booking, not at check-in
  • Child seats in transfers and enough luggage space for the whole group
  • Short drives and a free afternoon for younger children and older parents
  • One price per person and one consultant who handles changes for everyone

Our family tours from Abu Dhabi page lists the destinations and room types that work with children.

    Check visas for every passport and decide between a short-flight trip and a longer one with spring break or leave.

    Six to eight weeks before: book flights and hotel

    This is when most good Eid fares are still available.

  3. 03

    Four weeks before: visas and extras

    Apply for e-visas, add tours and travel insurance, and request rooms and seats.

  4. 04

    The week of Eid: confirm the dates

Questions

Eid holiday FAQs

Planning outside Eid? See all our holiday packages from Abu Dhabi and Dubai, or the weekend trips from Dubai for a normal two-day weekend.

Still have a question? Ask us on WhatsApp

When is Eid al-Fitr 2027 in the UAE?

UAE schools also take their spring break around then, so families have more days to travel.

When is Eid al-Adha 2027?

Flights for those dates fill early, so book four to eight weeks ahead.

Where can I go for Eid with only four days?

Short flights work well: Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Oman are under four hours from Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and many residents qualify for an e-visa or a visa on arrival. The Maldives and Sri Lanka suit a beach Eid. We show which ones fit your passport.

Why are Eid packages more expensive?

Most UAE residents travel in the same few days, so airlines and hotels raise prices for the Eid dates. Booking early, flying a day before the holiday starts or picking a less popular destination keeps the cost down. We quote alternatives side by side.

Do you have group packages for Eid?

Yes. Send the number of travellers and dates on WhatsApp to start.
