Although Dubai is a fantastic destination all throughout the year, winter is unquestionably the busiest season to visit. Overall, it is a comfortable experience because of the pleasant temperatures- seldom rainy too. Additionally, there are a ton of entertaining events and activities to take part in during Dubai’s mild winter; there is no shortage of ways to make the season fun and exciting.
Winter Wonderland
To start off, the Expo City Dubai has transformed into a Christmas-themed area named Winter City, after its immense success with the World Cup-related fan city. The huts and pine trees here have evolved into a Christmas market until the first week of January 2023. In addition to gingerbread, wreath, and ornament-making workshops, jumping, sliding, climbing, and zip-lining activities, there will also be a toy factory that customizes teddy bears. What could be more delightful than turning on the Christmas lights? If you’d like to witness the lighting of Winter City, put Friday, December 9 in your calendar.
Global Village
Want to travel the world to devour exquisite food and experience different cultures albeit briefly? Global Village is the place for you! Explore handcrafted gifts and mementos from all over the world at Global Village, a multicultural family entertainment area. Find everything from Turkish stained-glass lanterns to colorful Indian embroidered purses and intricate jewelry made by master craftsmen throughout Europe. Global Village is open from 25 October 2022 to 29 April 2023.
Dhow Cruise
An unforgettable experience of a calming cruise down the Dubai Creek is created by the soothingly lit skyline, the pleasant experience that comes with steady yet flowing water around you and the delightful company. As you glide through the night, beneath the recognizable Dubai bridges, observe the locals going about their daily lives, and savor a delectable dinner onboard- all of it starting at an affordable cost of AED 70 per person.
Dubai International Film Festival
The Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF), which happens every December and January, will be hosted in Dubai, as it has been through many years. The festival showcases movies from all over the world, and it’s a fantastic chance to watch some of the newest and best films. Additionally, there are masterclasses and workshops where you can discover more about the movie business and industry.
Dubai Marathon
Another popular event in Dubai is the Dubai Marathon. It almost always takes place in January, but this time it is set to take place mid-February of 2023 and it’s a wonderful chance to see some of the city’s most stunning structures. The Burj Khalifa, the tallest structure in the world, can be seen from the marathon route as it passes through downtown Dubai. A half marathon and a 10-kilometre race are also prepared to offer.
Dress in light and comfortable clothing and enjoy your pleasant winter to the fullest!
