You must be aware of the significant festival of colors, Holi. Aren’t you? Yes, it is a Hindu festival but it is celebrated worldwide. From parties and events to color races and activities, you feel alive and zestful when celebrating Holi in Dubai. 

An interesting fact about Dubai is that it does everything in its style. So, is it possible that the Dubai Holi celebration won’t be unique? In Dubai, no water is used in the Holi activities and the colors used are completely organic. This is beneficial in two ways: one is that it saves the environment and is therefore a responsible celebration, and the other is that the organic colors don’t leave any side effects on anyone’s skin.

Delectable food is the soul of a festival, especially Holi. Dubai is a town that offers worldwide food in its restaurants. Having said that, wouldn’t you want to savor Indian delicacies while celebrating Holi in Dubai? We know you would and we are already here with those delicacies. Make your Holi extra special by making Holi special food part of your celebration, like:

It is not possible that when someone is talking about Holi, they don’t describe the sweetness of gujiya in the festival. Sugar syrup (Chaashni) is the most important part of gujiya and without it, the real essence of gujiya is nowhere to be found. Even if you are diabetic, you will get a sugar-free gujiya at the stores that will still taste sweet. So, add gujiya to your list of Holi special sweets if you want to make your celebration saccharine.

Your Holi special meal is incomplete without a malpua, the desi pancake. People often describe Holi as an Indian festival, so how would it be fair if you didn’t try Indian delicacies when celebrating an Indian festival? To add to the sugary flavor of malpua, have it with rabri, and trust us, the feeling you will experience is heavenly. 

If we are discussing Holi sweets and snacks, how could we stop ourselves from bringing up Puran Poli? It is simple yet savory and if you are buying from someone who belongs to Maharashtra, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from sharing with you the history of the cuisine.

It is the most liked Indian milky drink, which is loaded with dry fruits, nuts, saffron, and some other spices. We all know that without having thandai, the Dubai Holi celebration can never be completed. It feels like a sip of culture with fantastic celebrations.
