Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah highlight UAE hotel performance during Eid al-Fitr 

ARLINGTON, VA. – During Eid al-Fitr celebrations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Ajman was the only hotel market to top 95% occupancy, and Ras Al Khaimah was the only market where average daily date (ADR) surpassed AED 1,000, according to data from CoStar. CoStar is a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information and analytics in the property markets.

Occupancy levels peaked across all UAE markets on Monday, 31 March, with the highest level seen in Ajman (95.8%). The market’s ADR and revenue per available room (RevPAR) peaked on the same night at AED698.59 and AED669.23, respectively.

The UAE’S highest ADR and RevPAR levels were posted in Ras Al Khaimah, also on 31 March, at AED 1,184.36 and AED 1,100.43, respectively. That night, the market’s occupancy climbed to 92.9%.

“As anticipated, Eid holidays were a success across the UAE with demand for accommodation rebounding after the month of Ramadan,” said Kostas Nikolaidis, senior account manager for Middle East and Africa at STR. “The northern emirates of Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah continued to be extremely popular as indicated by their high occupancy levels.”

“Ramadan occurring earlier in the winter season has helped balance last year’s overperformance due to Catholic Easter coinciding with Ramadan, which drove additional demand,” Nikolaidis said. “Consequently, Eid 2025 coincided with the UAE spring break school holidays which unlocked the opportunity for many families to make extended travel plans, both for staycations and also international travel.”

The lowest occupancy during Eid al-Fitr was seen in Abu Dhabi (89.7%) and Sharjah (89.8%).
