A programme of cultural breakfasts, patriotic décor and grand cake-cutting ceremonies brings the spirit of the Union to life across all three properties.
In honour of the UAE’s 54th Eid Al Etihad, Central Hotels & Resorts, one of the country’s leading homegrown hospitality groups, is set to celebrate the momentous occasion with an array of engaging cultural experiences across Canal Central Hotel Business Bay, Royal Central Hotel The Palm and C Central Resort The Palm. The Group’s celebrations reflect deep national pride, warm Emirati hospitality and a commitment to sharing the country’s cultural heritage with guests.
Guided by the 2025 theme “United,” this year’s activities embrace the nation’s collective identity and the values that underpin the UAE’s unity. Meaning “Festival of the Union,” Eid Al Etihad is a symbolic reminder of the strength, solidarity and shared progress that define the Emirates.
At Canal Central Hotel Business Bay, festivities will begin with an Emirati-inspired morning at La Cruise Restaurant from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Traditional breakfast dishes, live cooking stations, Arabic calligraphy, henna designs and vibrant national décor will create an immersive cultural experience, complemented by patriotic music and a display of the UAE’s colours throughout the venue.
At 9:30 AM, guests and staff will gather for a ceremonial cake-cutting led by the General Manager, Operations Managers and Department Heads. Front Office and F&B teams will extend personalised hospitality to ensure every guest feels included, while the Marketing Team captures and shares the highlights throughout the day.
Royal Central Hotel The Palm and C Central Resort The Palm will also host their own celebratory gatherings. Each resort will feature a five kg commemorative cake-cutting ceremony in their lobbies and restaurants—La Maison and Waves—bringing guests, team members and management together in a patriotic moment of unity. Visitors can enjoy freshly prepared Regag bread, Emirati sweets, henna artistry and national songs, creating an uplifting atmosphere for all ages.
To complement the celebrations, both beachfront hotels will offer a special Eid Al Etihad Lamb Ouzi lunch buffet priced at AED 199 per person, inviting diners to enjoy the authentic flavours of the UAE in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
Across Business Bay and The Palm, Central Hotels & Resorts welcomes residents, travellers and guests to join in celebrating the UAE’s culture, unity and enduring national spirit.
