Let’s be honest—Eid plans usually fall into two categories: overbooked brunches or “let’s just stay home and eat leftovers.” But what if this year, you swapped the usual for something a little… sandier? (In a good way, promise.)
Enter: a desert escape that feels like a mini reset button for your soul.
Trade City Noise for Desert Vibes
Picture this—you, a comfy stay, and endless golden dunes stretching as far as your “out of office” message. That’s exactly what Aldhafra Resort, Vignette Collection by IHG is serving this Eid, tucked right in the heart of Liwa, on the edge of the legendary Empty Quarter.
And before you ask—yes, this is your sign to romanticise your long weekend.
The “Why Didn’t I Book This Sooner?” Offer
Let’s get straight to the part we all care about—the deal (because we love a good one).
With their limited-time UAE & GCC residents offer, you get:
- 30% off your stay (hello, savings)
- A complimentary room upgrade (because you deserve main character energy)
- AED 150 dining credit (which you will happily spend)
Basically, it’s the kind of offer that makes you feel like you’ve hacked Eid.
Eat, Explore, Repeat
Now, this isn’t just a “sit in your room and scroll” kind of getaway. This is where things get fun.
Your stay comes with access to some seriously cool desert experiences:
- Camel trekking (yes, it’s as iconic as it sounds)
- Sandboarding (falling gracefully is optional)
- Archery (channel your inner warrior)
- Henna art and sand bottle artistry (for your artsy side)
And the best part? You get to pick two experiences per stay. So go ahead—be adventurous, or at least look adventurous for the photos.
The Eid Brunch You’ll Actually Brag About
Forget crowded restaurants and long waiting lists. This Eid, brunch comes with a view—dramatic dunes and open skies.
Served from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM, the Eid brunch is all about:
- Seasonal flavours
- Relaxed vibes
- Zero stress
It’s the kind of afternoon where time slows down, conversations linger, and no one’s checking the clock.
Families, You’re Covered Too
If you’re travelling with kids, don’t worry—this isn’t one of those “adults-only zen zones” where children are side-eyed.
There’s a Kids’ Club to keep the little ones entertained, while you:
- Sip something chilled at Al Layali Bar
- Enjoy a quiet moment (remember those?)
- Or just stare dramatically into the desert like you’re in a movie
Upgrade Your Stay (Because Why Not?)
If you’re feeling a little extra (it’s Eid, you should), there are dining packages to match your mood:
- Half Board: Breakfast + dinner at Al Badiya (perfect balance)
- Full Board: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner (aka, zero decisions, maximum indulgence)
Think slow mornings, long meals, and absolutely no cooking. Bliss.
The Kind of Escape You Didn’t Know You Needed
There’s something about the desert—it slows you down in the best way possible. No rush, no noise, just wide-open skies and that oddly satisfying feeling of doing… nothing.
And honestly? That might be the real luxury.
Available for bookings from 19 to 22 March, this Eid experience is perfect for couples, families, or anyone who just wants a break that feels a little different (and a lot better).
So this year, skip the predictable plans.
Go where the WiFi is weaker, the sunsets are stronger, and the vibes? Immaculate.
