As the restrictions ease up across the Emirates and we spring into a hot summer, the team at WG have found ourselves looking for experiences to discover locally as opposed to internationally (sorry, we’re not ready to hop on jet plane just yet).
With plenty of staycation and daycation offers popping up around town, we’re quite certain that this summer will be an exploratory one that will save us cash and keep us plenty entertained as we get a break from the chaos around us!
Here we’ve rounded up some of the best UAE daycation deals available…
