Dubai's National Day Festival is an annual day of celebration to commemorate the Emirates' independence from Great Britain. Celebrated on the 2nd of December each year it's a chance to see many of the city's leading monuments as they open their doors to the public and put on special events throughout the day.
Dubai Shopping Festival:
Although Dubai is well known as a shopper's paradise throughout the year, the month of January is particularly good for bargain hunters. Right through January, over two million visitors flock to Dubai for the month-long Shopping Festival, which seems to involve every shop in the city, with concerts, children's entertainment, firework shows and other events offering a welcome break from the city-wide shopping frenzy.
Dubai celebrates various festivals and events throughout the year. Dubai's cultural ideology is firmly embedded in the Islamic civilization. Islam is more than just a religion; it is a way of life that governs even the smallest of everyday events.
Ramadan is the sacred 9th month of the Islamic calendar in which Muslims celebrate the revelation of the Holy Koran. They observe fast from dawn till dusk. While fasting, Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking and sexual affairs.
Eid Al Fitr (‘Feast of Breaking the Fast’) is celebrated at the end of Ramadan. It is celebrated for three days and starts after the morning prayers. Gifts are also exchanged between friends and relatives.
Eid Al Adha (‘Feast of Sacrifice’) is celebrated on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, and it honours the keenness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son for the command of God. The celebrations last for four days, and a sacrifice is made of a cow, camel, or ram.
