About the Amazon.ae Eid eGift Card Designs

The Amazon.ae Eid eGift Cards embrace the tradition of “Eideyyah”, the popular gift-giving Eid al-Fitr custom between family and friends, with a modern twist. This year’s collection consists of two exclusive colourful designs from students of determination at the Rashid Centre. Each design stems from the students’ interpretations of Eid and bring to life elements from the celebrations, culture, and heritage shared across the UAE, while infusing the students’ personal attachment to the holy season.

The first design was created by Zainab Chaudry Naveed, taking inspiration from her favorite Eid elements and using her favourite colour, yellow, resulting in a vibrant art piece with bold shapes.Embodying the values of inclusivity and togetherness, the second design was created collaboratively by an entire class of students (Class ILG 3) at the Rashid Centre. The design is not only a beautiful representation of their creativity and talent, but also a testament to the power of coming together to create something meaningful.

Mariam Othman, Director of the Rashid Centre for People of Determination, said: “Eid is one of the most important celebrations of the year in the UAE, and we are very proud to have worked with the Amazon team on this creative ‘Eideyah’ initiative. Art is a cornerstone of our curriculum at the Rashid Centre, and each one of our students who took part in this initiative truly enjoyed expressing themselves through their designs for the Amazon.ae Eid eGift Cards collection. Through this collaboration, Amazon has given our students an opportunity to share their talent and gifts with the nation, a gift that many of them will never forget.”
