In the UAE, Christmas church services are held at several established churches, providing expatriates and visitors with places to celebrate. In Dubai, St. Mary’s Catholic Church and Holy Trinity Church are popular venues for Christmas Mass and services, welcoming thousands of worshippers every year. Similarly, Abu Dhabi’s St. Joseph’s Cathedral and St. Andrew’s Church offer Christmas services that often include Midnight Mass, carol singing and prayers.
