Eid Al Adha is expected to fall between Friday, July 31 and Sunday, August 2 this year, or close to those dates. So time is of the essence if you're hoping to treat yourself to a staycation.

For many, international travel is not a viable option, but there is no shortage of incredible escapes in the UAE.

Retreat to Hatta for a few quiet days out of town, treat yourself to a beach break in Ras Al Khaimah, a city stay in Dubai or a palatial weekend in Abu Dhabi.

It's worth noting that many of the deals are valid until the end of September, so if you can't get away for Eid Al Adha, there could still be a summer of staycations to be enjoyed.
