At Ithara.ae, we believe the best gifts are not things, but moments you remember long after they happen. That is why we are excited to introduce something new for our community.
The Experience of the Year Awards is our annual initiative celebrating the very best experiences across the UAE. It is our way of recognizing the partners who go above and beyond to create truly memorable moments for our customers.
This year marks the very first edition, and we could not be more excited to share the results.
What are the Experience of the Year Awards?
The Experience of the Year Awards highlight top-performing experiences on Ithara.ae across categories such as dining, spa, adventure, wellness, and more.
Each winner is selected based on a combination of factors that matter most to customers:
Customer satisfaction and reviews
Booking performance and popularity
Overall quality of the experience
In short, these are the experiences people genuinely love, recommend, and come back to.
If you are looking for a gift and want something tried, trusted, and memorable, this is a great place to start.
