Perplexed on how to celebrate Christmas in Dubai 2018? We will guide you how to
For a white Christmas…
Yes, folks, Dubai hosts white Christmas completely soaked in snow every year. Don’t believe me? Just head to Ski Dubai for an amazing snow Christmas experience and say hi to the great Santa Claus. Or munch your ginger cookies overlooking the ski resort. Both works.
For a sunny Christmas…
You don’t need to do anything for a sunny Christmas. It’s already sunny out there (average highs of 26˚C, lows of 17˚C). Christmas in Dubai is perfect for the people who would like to escape from the torrential snowfall and freezing under woolen jackets scenes. The climate is ideal for taking a stroll around the beach and make some sandman instead of a snowman.
For the foodies…
The restaurants and hotels in Dubai are all set to welcome their guest with scrumptious Christmas meals. The traditionally served piping hot turkey meals on the table are worth trying. Takeaway or dine in, I bet you won’t be disappointed.
For the explorers…
The city is all lit on Christmas Day. However, the late-night parties in restaurants and hotels will delight the explorer in you. The schools in the city will hosts fairs and events. Moreover, the Irish village is hosting a Christmas tree lighting ceremony with free mince pies. I mean for free. Make sure you reach early to get in there and grab one.
And yes, there are Christmas markets too- Madinat Jumeirah and winter festivals has been the best ones till date.
For the believers…
Those who would like to spend their Christmas in Dubai spiritually, there are churches with services available for different denominations. Though the UAE is a Muslim country, it is tolerant of other religions. St. Mary’s in Oud Metha is one among the city’s largest, whereas if you’re staying at the southern corner of the town you’ll realize St. Francis is nearer.
