All hotels, golf clubs and malls will be having their own Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony which typically comes with mulled wine, cookies, carols and in some cases – Santa makes an appearance and even hands out gifts for the little one. These are usually free to join, though some venues require prebookings and some are exclusively for guests residing at the hotel.
The following list are the ones in and around the Dubai Marina, Bluewaters and the Palm Jumeirah.
Do enquire directly with venues for more details. You’ll very likely see us at some, if not all of these…. haha. Enjoy the festive month with the family!
