There’s always a debate over Vacation vs Staycation and we know it’s an endless quest. But UAE seems to have chosen its side. Emiratis are preferring to take an overseas trip rather than book a luxurious stay experience. Eid is becoming a fancy travel time for UAE-ites.
UAE People Are Picking Up International Vacation Over Staycation
For the holiday weekend, people are opting to travel to nearby destinations like Georgia and Armenia. Dubai is one of the most popular destinations for tourists from the GCC countries due to the pleasant weather, an abundance of tourist attractions, and lenient travel regulations. The travel agents report that they are getting a lot of reservations. The agencies consequently anticipate higher occupancy for Eid from nearby nations like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

What Are The Benefits?
1. Staycation Benefits:
For the given month of summer, a staycation sounds like a blessing to us. We skip hours of long travel, planning our days with so much shopping and packing. All that done, we can just lay in bed all day or maybe spend quality time with our family without having to worry about travelling and spending long hours figuring out what to do and eat. To summarize the benefits of Staycation we list down five points.
- Saves a lot of time that goes into travelling.
- Saves money.
- Provides you with a luxurious experience.
- Relieves you from the stress of packing for days.
- Saves the extra money that might have been spent on vacation shopping!

Vacations provide us with new experiences which we need after a long working period. The constant routine of school or the office makes one’s life quite sedentary. That’s when this vacation feels like a cool breeze. Let’s joint down 5 benefits of vacation.
