Experience an Eid Al Adha retreat amidst lush greenery at Kalba's Hanging Gardens
Hey there!
If you're up for a breezy getaway from the blazing UAE heat this Eid Al Adha long weekend, check out Kalba! Located along the Sharjah-Kalba Road (E102), Kalba is a hidden treasure that's cooler than inland areas and may even see some rain. Visit early in the morning or late evening to beat the heat.
One of Kalba's highlights is the badass Hanging Gardens. Opened in 2024, these mountainside digs sprawl over 1.6 million square feet with a whopping 100,000+ trees, terraced gardens, waterfalls, and recreation areas for all ages. It's the perfect mix of tranquility and family-friendly fun.
The gardens are all about lush greenery, breathtaking tower-like floral displays, and beautifully crafted pathways that'll make you forget city life ever happened. The showstopper? A multi-level artificial waterfall that crashes into a stunning lake, looking particularly sweet at night when it's all lit up.
