This weekend, the world will be celebrating Eid Al Adha, and naturally, Dubai is the place to be to ring in the occasion.

For those in the UAE, residents will get to enjoy a four-day break holiday, which means you have ample time to indulge in Dubai’s best offerings of exclusive escapes.

Whether you’re in search of a new Michelin to dine in, or perhaps a staycation for that R&R energy, the GRAZIA team has scoured the city for the best things to do during the long Eid Al Adha weekend.

A treat for yourself and your skin

Let’s face it, it’s been a busy 2025 so far, and oftentimes it takes a toll on your skin. “Burnout doesn’t just affect your mind, it shows up in your skin, too,” says Dr. Mehri Pourkand, founder of her eponymous Dubai clinic. “My approach is focused on calming inflammation, repairing the barrier and restoring balance from the inside out.” So, if you’re opting to rest and recharge at home in Dubai this weekend, why not take a moment to treat yourself and your skin. According to Dr. Mehri, the way to treat burnt-out skin is with regenerative treatments that go beyond the surface. Enter injectable skin boosters, such as polynucleotides or exosome therapies, which have been increasing in popularity as of late. Known to support cellular repair and to restore hydration, it’s the ideal treatment for compromised or prematurely ageing skin. “They help rebuild the skin’s foundation – encouraging natural repair processes, calming inflammation and improving elasticity,” explains Dr. Mehri. “You don’t need aggressive treatments to see results; the key is working with the skin, not against it.” Book in for a treatment at Dr. Mehri Aesthetic Clinic this Eid, your skin will thank you.

From London to Dubai
