The Eid Al Fitr holidays offer families and friends the perfect opportunity to take a break from their hectic lives and enjoy the company of people they love. For residents that choose to spend the holiday in the UAE, it is the time to enjoy good food and take in the festive sights and sounds around the UAE. Despite the summer heat, residents chose to organise family picnics at public parks and corniches. Workers also took the chance to spend quality time with friends. Malls and tourist hotspots also lined up a host of entertainment activities. Gulf News gives you a glimpse of the holiday spirit.
