Eid Attire — What to Wear for Eid in the UAE
Eid attire begins with something new in white for the Eid prayer, then light-coloured kanduras for visits. Perfume — oud or dahn al-oud — is essential. Ashbiliya explains the Eid traditions and prepares its collections ahead of the season across 11 branches.
