The Eid Al Adha long weekend is approaching soon, but what are you doing with the expected time off?
According to the Emirates Astronomy Society, the Day of Arafat will fall on Sunday June 16 and the following day will mark the start of a three-day public holiday in the UAE.
With just under four weeks to go, it’s a good time to get ahead of the itinerary, especially if you are looking at booking flydubai flights.
