Get your dandiya sticks ready because it’s almost time to celebrate! This year, Navratri is from Thursday, October 3rd to Saturday, October 12th, which means it’s just around the corner. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about – Navratri is a major Hindu celebration honouring the divine feminine and Goddess Durga. For 9 days, many people fast and follow a strict vegetarian diet. That’s why, here in Dubai, the community comes together with special offers and festivities to support those who are fasting during this time. So, if you’re taking part in the Navratri this year or just want to be part of the festivities, come with me, and I’ll show you the best deals and celebrations around Dubai!
