Dubai’s most anticipated festive event, the Madinat Jumeirah Christmas Market, returns on December 6, promising a magical experience at Souk Madinat Jumeirah.

Transforming the iconic venue into a winter wonderland, the market features a dazzling 11-metre-tall Christmas tree adorned with sparkling lights and ornaments, creating a picture-perfect holiday atmosphere. Spanning 1,750 square metres, the market will run from 3pm to midnight, Monday to Thursday, and 12:00 PM to midnight, Friday to Sunday. Entry is free, though some activities require payment.

Visitors can enjoy a variety of family-friendly attractions, including mini train rides, bungee jumping, and a charming Venetian carousel. The festive decorated abra rides, complete with Santa on board, offer a unique way to explore the waterways. For a sweet treat, don’t miss the intricately designed gingerbread house, a true highlight for children and adults alike.

The market also hosts pop-up stalls showcasing seasonal crafts, homegrown brands, and an array of festive dining options, from hot chocolate to Christmas-themed bites. To keep the festive cheer alive, a live band will play classic holiday tunes, adding a lively touch to the vibrant atmosphere.

For those driving to the venue, limited parking is available at Souk Madinat Jumeirah, but arriving by taxi is highly recommended. Hotel guests at Jumeirah Mina A’Salam can access the market directly.

Mark your calendars for December 6 and immerse yourself in the festive spirit at one of Dubai’s most beloved seasonal events.
