Well, here are some tips to avoid phishing during the Eid holiday. 

1. Be cautious of unsolicited emails and messages, if you receive an unexpected email or message asking for sensitive information or urging you to click on a link, be wary. Do not click on any links or download any attachments unless you are sure they are safe.

2. Just buy tickets and book hotel rooms, either from the company directly or through reputable ticketing or hotel sites.

3. Use two-factor authentication, two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your accounts by requiring a second form of authentication, such as a code sent to your phone or a fingerprint scan.

4. Avoid using public wifi. Don't even use hotel room wifi unless it's encrypted and password protected. Consider using a virtual private network (VPN).

5. Consider using a credit card.

6. If paying online, make sure the machine and browser (and all software) are completely up-to-date with the latest version.
