Will it be possible to see Santa Claus at any events in the UAE?
Yes, Santa Claus makes appearances at numerous events across the UAE during the Christmas season, particularly in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Many shopping malls, such as Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates and Marina Mall, have Santa’s Grottos, where children can meet Santa, take photos and receive small gifts.
Winter markets and seasonal events, like those at Souk Madinat Jumeirah and the Ripe Market, also invite Santa to greet visitors and spread holiday cheer. Additionally, many family-friendly hotels and resorts organize special events where Santa makes appearances during brunches or festive dinners.
Some venues even have interactive Santa-themed experiences, such as virtual Santa visits or storytelling sessions with Santa himself. These events create exciting opportunities for children and families to enjoy the magic of Christmas in the UAE. Availability and specific times vary, so checking event details ahead of time is recommended.
