The five-day Eid holidays are looming, which means it's the perfect time to grab the family, pack a bag and head off into the sunset. With international travel still a little uncertain, there's plenty of hotel staycations right here in the UAE, as well as numerous fabulous offers to take advantage of. Here are three top picks if you're struggling to choose. 

Adrenalin-fuelled magic

Spend Eid at the Address Dubai Marina and cover all bases this May. Nestled in the heart of Dubai Marina, the hotel has direct access to Dubai Marina Mall and is in walking distance to the beach, making shopping and day trips simple to plan. Better still, all guests booking a suite over the Eid holidays will get free tickets to XLine, the hair-raising Dubai Marina zip line. Fly high above the world’s largest man-made marina, counting the towers on the way (if you can keep your eyes open).

For those who prefer to stay on the ground, the hotel has five restaurants and bars and an infinity pool. All stays come with a free breakfast and zip line tickets are only valid for suite bookings at Address Dubai Marina and not any of the other hotels. Prices start from Dh800, including breakfast, excluding taxes at the Address Dubai Marina.

Fancy a stay further down town? A stay at the Address Fountain Views, which reopens on Tuesday, May 11, will bag you free tickets to either Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, At The Top at Burj Khalifa, or the VR Park at the The Dubai Mall, which is just across the road. Great for shopaholics, the hotel is situated a stone's throw from some of the besting retail therapy avenues the city has to offer, as well as hundreds of world-class cafes and restaurants. Prices are available on request at stay@addresshotels.com or by calling 04 423 8888.
