Arafah Day & Eid Al Adha: (June 27th – June 30th)

Club Saturday & Sunday (June 24th & 25th), (July 1st & 2nd), take Monday (June 26th) off and get a 9 day long weekend!

There’s a 9 day long weekend in 2023 in the month of June & the best part is that you have to take just one single day off. What that also means is that everything is going to get booked out for those dates as soon as possible. Avoid all the holiday rush & the last minute booking plans. We at Gulf Buzz are going to help you plan ahead in style (and savings). Here are our suggestions for the super long, 9 day long weekend coming up next year.

PS: if you do decide to apply for a few official leaves and extend your holiday cycle, then we’re giving you that head start to get your leaves approved, before everyone else realises the upcoming long weekends of 2023.

1. Masai Mara, Kenya

From a desert land to a forest – Masai Mara in Kenya is a dream come alive. To give you a small glimpse of Masai Mara, think the movie The Lion King coming alive. July is the perfect time to visit Masai Mara as you will get to witness the  the great wildebeest migration.

July is also perfect climatewise. July is the coolest month of the year, and night times can dip below 10C. It’s also drier than most other months, making it perfect to book an open air safari and explore the best of Kenya.

2. Seychelles

With a flight time of just 4.5 hours from Dubai to Mahe, Seychelles is the perfect beach destination. TBH the conversion rate is not too bad either, with 1 AED = 3.66 SCR. Think sun, sand, sea and the bluest waters you’ve ever seen in your life. Go beach hopping at one of the many white sand beaches, or go trekking on the Copolia Trail. You can even take a helicopter ride, and get a macro view of the stunning islands. Our personal favourote is the Aride Island Nature Reserve, which is an untouched natural paradise!

3. New York, USA

Sure its a long flight to the US, but now is the perfect time to make use of a destination that’s far away. Lose yourself in the hustle & bustle of New York and all that it has to offer. The best time to visit New York City is from April to June – the crowds are not too much, the weather is perfect & because its not peak season, prices are a fair bit cheaper. You can expect temperatures in New York in June to be between 18 to 26 Celsius. America’s most iconic sight, the Statue of Liberty is of course a must visit. Lake Placid is perhaps the most beautiful town in New York State and should definitely be added to your bucket list as well.
