Winter Sun in Just 7 Hours
Flying from the UK to Dubai takes around 7 hours, making it one of the shortest long-haul destinations for guaranteed winter sun. In December, Dubai enjoys average daytime temperatures of around 25°C – perfect for relaxing on golden beaches or lounging by the hotel pool. While there’s no snow outside, you can still hit the slopes at Ski Dubai, the famous indoor ski resort inside the Mall of the Emirates.
Hotels for Every Taste
Dubai’s hotels are renowned for their luxury and service, and many offer flexible meal plans to suit your holiday style. Choose from half board, full board, or all-inclusive options – whether you want the freedom to explore Dubai’s dining scene or the convenience of having everything taken care of. Families, couples, and groups will all find something to match their needs.
Beaches, Shopping, and Festive Fun
Christmas in Dubai means swapping jumpers for swimsuits. The city boasts pristine beaches where you can soak up the sun and try water sports. For shopping, Dubai is unmatched – from Dubai Mall, one of the largest in the world, to traditional souks filled with gold, spices, and unique gifts.
And for those who don’t want to miss out on festive traditions, Dubai goes all out with Christmas decorations, live performances, themed brunches, and visits from Santa in many hotels. You’ll also find Christmas markets, tree-lighting ceremonies, and even traditional Christmas dinners with all the trimmings at many luxury hotels and restaurants.
Out-of-the-Box Dubai Experiences
What makes Dubai stand out as a Christmas destination is the range of activities you won’t find anywhere else. Alongside the festive fun, you can:
- Ski indoors at Ski Dubai
- Take a boat ride around Dubai Marina or The Palm
- Skydive over Palm Jumeirah for breath taking views
- Visit the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and enjoy the city skyline from its observation deck
- Head into the desert for a safari experience with dune bashing, camel rides, and starlit dining
Dubai is a destination where you can sunbathe in the morning, shop in the afternoon, and enjoy fine dining and entertainment in the evening.
