Get ready to embrace the festive spirit as Madinat Jumeirah Christmas Market returns this December. From December 6 to December 31, 2024, the market transforms Fort Island into a magical winter wonderland, blending Christmas magic with Dubai’s unique charm. Perfect for soaking up holiday vibes.
What to Expect?
From the moment you step in, you’ll be greeted by a massive 36-foot Christmas tree, beautifully decorated with shiny baubles and festive ornaments. This holiday hotspot sprawls across 1,750 square meters, providing ample space to explore festive stalls, engage in fun activities, and simply enjoy the holiday atmosphere.
The market is open from 3 PM to late on weekdays and 12 PM to late on weekends, making it perfect for a spontaneous visit or a planned day out with family and friends. Entry is free, so it’s easy to stop by and take in the sights and sounds without any hassle. There are, however, ticketed activities to add some extra fun.
Activities for All Ages
Even if you’re visiting with kids, or friends, or just want to relive your childhood, the market offers something for everyone. The little ones will love the snow fight zone, bungee jumping, and a ride on the Venetian carousel. Santa will also be making an appearance! Enjoy a festive Abra ride with Santa or decorate a gingerbread house, both family favorites.
For those who prefer a more laid-back experience, grab a seat by the live band that will be playing seasonal tunes, filling the air with festive joy.
