Can you believe it’s school holidays again, in a few weeks? Didn’t we just go back to school? 🙂 Well well, it is Eid Al Adha break – so let’s just make the most of the offers that are available right now. School finishes on Friday 22nd of May, and closes for an entire week with Eid falling during that same week. That means 9 days off for the kids – and if you take into consideration Friday half-days it literally is 10 days.

Here’s a few fabulous family staycations offers that are running – not just for the Eid Al Adha break but in case you wanted to take advantage of the lower rates mid-week or any weekend this May.
