| Celebrating Christmas |
Christmas in Dubai might not sound like the ideal snow-strewn festivities that is depicted as, but it definitely brings the festive vibes. I am going to describe the places where Christmas celebration is extravagant in Dubai. Being an Islam country, Dubai now embraces the characteristics of a multi-cultural city which open its arms to attract visitors globally while celebrating their best Christmas in their whole life.
Well, you might have heard before that New York, Paris, Berlin, etc. are famous for their exotic Christmas Celebration. But trust me, Dubai has left behind many cities globally when it comes to Christmas celebration. There are a plethora of Christmas special markets, events, dinner, brunch, celebrations, firework displays you will find in every popular attraction of Dubai. Christmas in Dubai is perfect for those folks who desperately want to warm them up in the forefront of the not-so-magical log fire.
Right now, the weather of Dubai is perfect for eating and drinking for the festive season. If you are thinking of spending your Christmas in Dubai this year but on the other hand, you have the slightest of skepticism about the celebration areas. I will make things easier for you while mentioning the popular places where you can celebrate your Christmas. Below is the list of shopping destinations, Christmas brunches, events and other festivities which will definitely add a charm for your indulgent Christmas.
