From luxury hotel celebrations to hands-on creative workshops, here’s your go-to guide for fun, meaningful, and imaginative things to do this Easter across the city.
1. Egg Hunts with a Twist
What’s Easter without a good old-fashioned egg hunt? But in true Dubai fashion, these aren’t just any hunts — they come with a luxurious, family-friendly twist.
Several hotels and resorts around the city go big every Easter, offering extravagant egg hunts in lush garden settings, paired with live entertainment, face painting, and petting zoos for the kids. Head to Fairmont The Palm or The Ritz-Carlton Dubai, where kids can roam freely in search of golden eggs while adults enjoy elegant brunch spreads.

3. DIY Brunch at Home
Looking to avoid the crowds and do something intimate? Why not host your own Easter brunch at home with a creative twist?
Pick a fun theme — maybe “Bunny Picnic” or “Springtime Garden Party” — and get the family involved in decorating, cooking, and even crafting homemade Easter crackers. There’s something special about sharing a meal that everyone helped create.
Local gourmet stores like Jones the Grocer and Spinneys offer ready-made Easter baskets, artisanal chocolates, and premium ingredients to make home celebrations both festive and fuss-free.
4. Afternoon Tea in Style
Indulge in the more elegant side of Easter with a luxurious afternoon tea experience at some of Dubai’s finest hotels. This year, several venues are curating special Easter menus that feature spring-inspired pastries, colorful macaroons, and gourmet finger sandwiches.
Address Downtown and SLS Dubai Hotel & Residences are offering limited-edition Easter afternoon teas, complete with Instagram-worthy décor and stunning skyline views. It’s a relaxed, sophisticated way to celebrate the holiday without all the chaos.
5. Make Your Own Chocolate Eggs
What better way to celebrate Easter than by diving into the sweet stuff yourself? Instead of simply buying chocolates, sign up for a chocolate-making workshop, where you can mold, fill, and decorate your own delicious eggs.
Workshops at Mirzam Chocolate Makers and Co Chocolat teach you the basics of tempering and decorating, turning the whole experience into a fun and tasty memory for kids and grown-ups alike.

Not only is it therapeutic and rewarding, but you’ll also go home with a beautiful bouquet and new floral skills under your belt.

Dubai’s vibrant expat community means you’ll find plenty of family-friendly Easter fairs popping up across the city. Think live music, market stalls, Easter-themed games, food trucks, and more.
From the Ripe Market in Academy Park to community centers in Mirdif and Arabian Ranches, these events are perfect for families looking for a low-key, fun day out that still captures the festive spirit.
