But Dubai is actually bursting with festive things to do and see in December.<\/h4>\n<h4>Couple that with practically guaranteed sunshine and there\u2019s plenty of reasons why you should consider celebrating Christmas in Dubai this year (but maybe leave the festive sweater at home).<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h3>Explore the Dubai Christmas Markets<\/h3>\n<h4>Exploring a Christmas market is a great way to get into the festive spirit, and pick up some unique presents for your loved ones. Dubai offers a wide variety of Christmas markets, both big and small, but some of the most popular are the Souk Festive Market at Madinat Jumeirah and the Dubai Winter Festival at the Dubai Media City Amphitheatre. As well as a market, the Dubai Winter Festival also features a fun fair, Santa\u2019s grotto and pantomime, and even offers children the chance to build their own snowman!<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h3>Visit Santa<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8836\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bluebayresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2016-12-07-christmasdubai2.jpg\" width=\"440\" height=\"315\"><\/p>\n<h4>There are many grottos dotted across Dubai, but WAFI Mall has arguably the best. Not only do children get to meet Santa but a gift, a photo of the occasion and vouchers for free coffee or hot chocolate are all provided as part of your entry fee, making WAFI a great-value place to meet Santa. Just remember to get there early to avoid the queues.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h3>Take to the Slopes<\/h3>\n<h4>Christmas wouldn\u2019t be Christmas without a festive dusting of snow, so get your snow fix at Ski Dubai, a 22,500 square meter indoor ski area, housed at the Mall of Emirates. With an indoor mountain and Snow Park play area there\u2019s plenty to entertain skiers of all ability as well as families. Don\u2019t forget to pay a visit to the resident King and Gentoo penguins too!<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h3>Indulge in a Christmas Brunch<\/h3>\n<h4>You might be surprised to hear that in Dubai brunch is one of the most popular meals on Christmas day. Go all out by booking a table at one of Dubai\u2019s many lavish restaurants and take advantage of the extravagant set menus and unlimited bubbles that many of them boast to ensure you celebrate the festive season in style.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h3>Celebrate the New Year in Dubai with a Bang<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8837\" alt=\"Burj khalifa lake from the top\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bluebayresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2016-12-07-christmasdubai1.jpg\" width=\"440\" height=\"315\"><\/p>\n<h4>Welcome in the new year in style at one of Dubai\u2019s many NYE concerts, parties or fireworks displays! We recommend finding a spot with good views of the Palm Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab or Burj Khalifa, where spectacular displays are held each year.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Why not make yourself at home this Christmas at one of our hotels in Dubai? BlueBay operates two hotels in Dubai, the Hotel Armada BlueBay and the Hotel BlueBay Black Stone, both offering a luxurious place to stay over the festive period, and a fantastic base from which to enjoy Christmas in Dubai. We look forward to welcoming you!<\/h4>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More famous for its sand dunes then its ski slopes, Dubai might not be the first Christmas holiday destination to spring to mind.
