Ramadan is more than halfway through and travellers are starting to make plans for the coming Eid holiday.
Predicted to begin on April 20 in the UAE, the holiday period — which looks set to run for four days this year — is typically a popular time for getaways.
This year, top destinations for travellers include Turkey and Thailand, with the ever-popular Maldives continuing to be a firm favourite, according to travel companies in the region.
International travel is also proving more popular this Eid than it was last year. “At dnata Travel, for Eid Al Fitr 2023, we are witnessing a 25 per cent increase in the number of travel bookings made with UAE travellers, across the world, compared to the same period last year,” said a representative of dnata Travel, the UAE’s biggest provider of travel services and products for retail and business customers.
