The city may be a ghost town during Raya, but before you take the cliché route and head straight for the shopping malls (or resort to four days of sitting at home and watching TV), we've compiled a handy guide on the best places you can visit and things you can do over the break. These places are all open for Raya.

Opening to more fanfare than Channing and Jonah’s raunchy ‘Jump Street’ franchise is the new warehouse-like Jump Street Trampoline Park in Section 13. The park is divided into several sections: a main court featuring over 9,000 square feet of interconnected trampolines, two dodge ball courts, a foam pit, basketball and kids' courts, a high performance area with six Olympic-spec trampolines and vertical running walls of different heights.

Touristy you say? Maybe so, but Aquaria does feature some 5,000 aquatic and marine animals - the kids will love it, and you won't be too far away from a shopping mall (so you can relax now).
