Have you lost your job? Do you have friends who have received their termination/redundancy letter? If yes, I’m sure you want to save your money before you find another job.
While other Dubai hotels are offering Christmas and New Year packages, Arabian Park Hotel is also offering a free meal from December 15 to January 15 to those who have lost their jobs. What a nice idea from Arabian Park Hotel.
I am one of those people affected in the crisis. I lost my job, but this wont stop me from visiting this hotel. Arabian Park hotel may not be the best in dubai, but surely, it will be a great pleasure to experience their hospitality & the priviledge to feel the comfort and relaxation that this hotel offers.

Yesterday December 2 was the 37th celebration of United Arab Emirates National Day. Public and private companies are on holiday and it has been approved by The Federal Cabinet which is held under the chairmanship of HH Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai to merge the holidays of the UAE’s 37th National Day and Eid Al Adha for the public sector, which started yesterday to December 11. Work will resume on December 14.
We have seen lots of cars going to Dubai creek yesterday afternoon to witness a Marine Parade as part of the celebration.
People gathered in along the creek to watch an array of vessels sail down the creek including wooden dhows, speedboats, yachts and water taxis – all adorned with scarves and the UAE flag.
Emiratis throughout the UAE took to the streets in a public outpouring of pride in their nation for National Day.
I love having holiday here in Dubai not because of work but because you can go to other places without being stuck in traffic.
Hope there will be more holidays! lol
