8th December 2020
It’s our favorite time of the year again! The weather is cooler so we can head outdoors and the festive season is under full swing. Sadly our favourite market at Madinat Jumeirah will not be taking place this year so we have put together a list of alternative family fun for you to all enjoy.
Day brunch
Treat you and your loved ones to a Christmas lunch full of turkey, roast potatoes and stuffing. Lucky Voice in Barsha heights has a fun karaoke festive party brunch if that’s your jam, or you can head over to Spice island at Crowne plaza which has a kids area with a special visit from Santa and his helpers. If you’re looking for a kids free outing one evening then Accents in InterContinental Marina is just the place for you with it’s after dark Christmas edition.
Live theatre
If you are looking for someone else to entertain you this season, then head over to the QE2 for a live production of Beauty and the Beast based on the French tale La Belle et la Bête, this beautiful story about Belle will leave you enraptured.
Live music
If you’re looking towards music to lighten up the mood of the past year, then head to Dubai Opera for a night of jazz to see the concert Santa Baby which is sure to lift your spirits as you sway along to the music of the NSO Big Band.
Christmas Cracker is coming your way with special guests Natasha Hamilton from Attomic Kitten and Garett Gates who will be performing their best hits and other festive tunes at the Dubai Opera.
Skating Extravaganza
If live performance is set to get you on your toes then Cirque De Glacé is set to be a spectacular set on ice again at the Dubai Opera.
Annual Santa Dash
If you are looking to get on your feet this season where we all over indulge a bit on the good things, then head over to Festival City where you can join other Santa’s to run either 1, 2.5 or 5km. All participants get a freeway, t-shirt and beard.
