📅 The Eid Surge Explained
The "Thursday Night" Trap
Most people leave on the last working day before Eid. Flights on this evening are exorbitant.
Solution: Fly on Eid Morning (Day 1). Prices drop by 40% because everyone wants to be at their destination *before* Eid prayer.
📍 Where to Go (Cheap vs Expensive)
🔴 Most Expensive
- Georgia (Tbilisi)
- Armenia (Yerevan)
- Turkey (Istanbul)
- Maldives
Everyone goes here. Prices triple.
🟢 Hidden Gems (Cheaper)
- Uzbekistan (Tashkent/Samarkand)
- Kyrgyzstan (Bishkek)
- Oman (Muscat - usually drivable, flights cheap)
- Sri Lanka (Colombo)
Good value even last minute.
✈️ Staycation vs Vacation
If flights exceed AED 2,500 per person for a short trip, consider a luxury UAE Staycation instead. For the same price of an economy ticket to London, you can stay 3 nights in a 5-star resort in Ras Al Khaimah or Fujairah.
