The Madinat Jumeirah Christmas Market returns this year, opening on Friday, December 5, and running through Wednesday, December 31.
Open late and free to attend, the market is the perfect place to enjoy festive treats like mulled grape, mince pies, and Christmas tunes, or take a magical abra ride through the Madinat. In 2024, visitors could even enjoy a Santa abra ride and watch carol singers perform in the final weeks.
A spectacular 36-foot Christmas tree takes centre stage, while little ones can enjoy rides on the mini train or Venetian carousel. The 2025 edition promises festively decorated abra rides, shopping, delicious dining, and live band performances.
The market operates Monday to Thursday from 3pm to late and Friday to Sunday from noon till late. With free entry, it’s the ideal place to soak up the festive spirit without spending a dirham.
