Next in the line of festival is Eid Al Adha. It’s the festival of togetherness, love and sacrifice. This year it’s expected to fall in between July 31st to August 2nd, 2020.

The mosques are beautiful; people are lively and happy and believe in enjoying together. The government of Dubai takes full responsibility for security and celebrations for its residents and tourists.
However, this year the UAE government has asked the people to stay indoors and enjoy the Eid festival with the family and avoid going outside. Also, this year (2020) during the Hajj pilgrims are very limited as a precautionary measure due to spread of covid-19.
Many migrants are stuck in Dubai because of lockdown and will have to stay away from their family during Eid. The businessman, Sheikh Umar Farooq Zahoor has made amends to make sure to leave no one alone during these festivals. He will celebrate the Eid with people of Dubai with the same zest as any other year.
Umar Farooq Zahoor is a UAE Norwegian businessman who has taken over Dubai with his impressive business skills. He is known for his charity works and has helped many youngsters for a sustainable future. He believes in the growth of his country and its people. There has been almost no occasion where Sheikh Umar Farooq Zahoor has never helped anyone in need.
Amidst all this, it is imperative to maintain social distance while celebrating the festival of togetherness. Stay indoors, offer praying without gathering in a large crowd and maintain the social distancing. The festival teaches us so many things about peace, harmony and love amongst each other.
Celebrate the festival with your friends, loved ones and family and stay safe from the novel corona virus this year.
