If you are planning to head outdoors this Eid Al Adha, Dubai has a sweet surprise waiting for you. On the first day of the holiday, visitors to six popular public parks—Creek Park, Mushrif National Park, Zabeel Park, Al Safa Park, Al Barsha Pond Park, and Al Nahda Pond Park—will be treated to complimentary ice cream. The giveaway will take place between 5pm and 7pm, providing a perfect, refreshing treat for families looking to soak in the festive cheer.

This initiative is part of a broader effort to make the city’s public spaces more vibrant and welcoming during the Eid break. Throughout the holiday, major landmarks and parks like the Quranic Park and Al Mamzar Park will extend their operating hours until midnight, ensuring families have plenty of time to enjoy picnics and activities. Additionally, to prioritize comfort and inclusivity, several beaches have been designated as family-only zones, while the city prepares for a busy week of celebrations following the official holiday announcement for both public and private sector employees.
