However, keeping the current situation in mind, if you want to do something at home and are running out of ideas, we have got you covered. For those of you who like to stay at home for quiet and low-key celebrations, this list has been curated especially for you. Here’s how you can celebrate Eid al-Fitr at home with your loved ones.

Celebrating Eid At Home

1. A Barbecue In The Garden Or Balcony

A great way to celebrate Eid is through a feast. And what better than grilling delicious food? While, as the last of the pleasant weather lasts in the UAE, you can either set out your barbecue equipment in your garden or on your balcony. Don’t forget to serve delicious cuts of meat and veggies that have been slathered with flavoursome marinade. Perfection, this is something you’re bound to enjoy with your loved ones.

2. Cook Up A Delish Meal With The Entire Family

If barbecue grilling is not something that you feel confident about, how about cooking a meal with your family in your own cosy kitchen? Well, cooking is something that’s actually quite fun. Especially when you are cooking up a storm! From succulent kebabs to decadent desserts, you can make all of this at home together. Especially, as you make this chore a family activity, all the while sharing gossip and funny stories, lighting up the mood.

3. Watch All-Time Classic Movies

Another great way to spend the time at home is watching all-time favourite movies. Yes, there are many blockbuster movies in a multitude of languages that are available for streaming. Whether it’s Arabic, English, Hindi, Korean, or any other language, you can watch some of the cult favourites at home. And the best part about re-watching the classics is enjoying them with your family.

4. Spend Time With Family Reminiscing About Old Tales

If watching TV is not something for you, then you will certainly want to spend time just talking to your family. After all, when you talk with your loved ones, you end up reminiscing about old memories and stories that are bound to light up the mood and bring a smile to your face. Remembering things from decades ago and retelling those family stories truly sounds like a blessing.

5. Gather Your Friends & Family

As you might have gathered from all of the above points, Eid al-Fitr is celebrated best with Friends and family. So, if you have people living in the same emirate or maybe around, don’t forget to host them at your place. You can even try your hand at potluck, wherein everybody brings in some delicious food so that the cooking doesn’t just fall on you. However, if you want to host them without the stress of cooking, you can also make use of multiple home catering services that are available across the UAE.

After all, such mundane activities done together as a family are bound to create a cheery atmosphere and laughter.

7. Make Your Own Little Book Club

If you are someone who wants an extremely low-key celebration, then reading a book would probably be a great idea. And maybe you can even create your own little book club! There, you and your family members can gather, read up on the same book and then take the time to discuss it. The best bit? You need not disband this little group, and it will be your very own holiday tradition!

So, if you are also looking for a low-key celebration this year for Eid al-Fitr, you might want to keep these ideas in mind for a celebration that is low-key but not boring.
