While traditionally a Christian holiday, Easter in Dubai has evolved into a family-friendly, multicultural celebration—especially in communities like Business Bay.
Known as one of the city’s most dynamic districts, Business Bay offers the perfect blend of modern urban life and a community spirit that embraces global traditions, including the magic of Easter celebrations.
Let’s dive into how this upscale neighborhood becomes the hub of Easter cheer, and why it’s an ideal spot to soak in the joy of the season.
The Spirit of Easter in Dubai: More Than Just a Holiday
Before we explore the specifics of Easter in Business Bay, it’s worth understanding how Dubai embraces the spirit of Easter.
While the city is rooted in Islamic culture, it opens its arms to residents and tourists from around the world.
This cultural blend allows non-Muslim holidays like Christmas, Diwali, Halloween, and of course, Easter, to be celebrated openly, especially in expat-friendly communities like Business Bay.
Easter here isn’t just about religious observance—it’s about togetherness, joy, and celebrating the arrival of spring.
Across Dubai, hotels, restaurants, and residential communities create lively Easter programs, and Business Bay is no exception.
From themed brunches to family events and community egg hunts, Easter in this part of the city is truly special.

The best part? Most of these activities are open to the public or come with affordable ticket prices, making them accessible to families of all backgrounds.
