From holiday markets and indoor snow parks to Christmas dinners on the beach, here’s your guide to celebrating Christmas in Dubai, Premier Inn-style!
Spending Christmas in Dubai? While it’s true that Dubai isn’t your typical snowy winter wonderland, the city has fully embraced the holiday spirit and there’s no shortage of festive activities
If you’re missing the chill of winter, head to Ski Dubai at Mall of the Emirates.
This indoor snow park is open year-round but it’s extra magical during the holiday season.
With real snow, ski slopes and even penguin encounters, Ski Dubai is perfect for families wanting a wintery Christmas experience.
Don’t worry about not having the right gear. Ski Dubai have got you covered with everything from jackets to skis, so just show up ready for a day of snow-filled fun.
Soak Up the Sun at the Beach
How many places can you spend Christmas relaxing on the beach? Dubai’s December weather is pleasantly warm, making it ideal for a festive picnic or a dip in the ocean.
Lay out a blanket, bring along some holiday snacks and enjoy a relaxing Christmas day under the sun. It’s a unique way to celebrate and definitely will be one to remember.
Visit the Madinat Jumeirah Festive Market
For a touch of holiday charm, the Madinat Jumeirah Festive Market is a must-visit. With its stunning waterfront location and twinkling lights, this market brings all the festive cheer you could ask for.
Wander through charming stalls offering seasonal treats, handcrafted gifts and delicious mulled grape juice. Kids will love the activities, from gingerbread house decorating to a meet-and-greet with Santa himself! The market’s magical setting and lively atmosphere make it a highlight of the season.
Enjoy a Christmas Theatre Show
Dubai’s entertainment scene is alive and kicking during the holiday season and you’ll find festive shows and concerts all across the city
From traditional music to pop concerts and Christmas pantomimes, there’s something for everyone.
It’s the perfect way to round off a festive day, especially if you’re travelling with family. Check local listings for holiday performances and book in advance—they’re popular!
