There is never a dull day in Dubai. But, this elite city gets a lot more happening when it approaches the cold months of the year. During winters, there are carnivals to attend, shopping deals to grab, décor to admire and sports to play in Dubai. To welcome the new year or to bid the current one goodbye, spend a few days of winter doing things that only Dubai can offer.
With a whopping 240,000 square feet space, Ski Dubai makes sure you check those winter sports off your bucket-list. Situated in the Mall of Emirates, it is one of the most popular destinations in the city for adventure-junkies who would like to experience the thrill – but, indoors. Go for skiing or snowboarding, explore the snow park and see the penguin march. After an exhilarating time, enjoy a much-needed break at the eateries in the mall or just, shop around.
The celebratory setting at Winter Garden at Habtoor Palace is truly one gem of a sight in Dubai to witness during winters. Attend music performances by local artists, eat scrumptious local delights, go on a shopping-spree and simply, admire the decorations that depict festive joys. If you are travelling anytime in the months of November, December and January, dedicate a space of your calendar to this fair.
Dubai Safari Park is your launchpad for perfect winter outing in Dubai. Home to over 3000 animals, including mammals, birds and reptiles, the safari park is a complete wildlife and nature retreat elevated by four different villages: Asian Village, African Village, Explorer Village and Kids Village. Embark on an exciting ride and spot White Lions, Arabian Oryx, Flamingos, Moon Bear and more, in a dense forest setup. Need a break? Call it a break with something to munch on at Al Wadi.
Wondering what eco-friendly lights can do? Head to Dubai Garden Glow at Zabeel Park. The exhibition is one of the most happening sights to behold in Dubai in wintertime. While the handmade lights illuminate the entire space, spots like dinosaur park and coffee shops suit specific moods of the visitors (including kids). Apart from lights, you will also witness the artful structures that draw you a little closer to culture.
Want to see the most graceful choreography of flowers? Visit Dubai Miracle Garden, the largest flower garden in the world with millions of flowers that transport you to a heavenly show. From mesmerising Heart Passage and Floral Clock to stellar Emirate 8380 and Disney Avenue – the garden has a world of its own that welcomes visitors from November to March.
The Global Village is an open-air destination and a complete sensory experience that you would not want to miss. From October to April, the bustle of the Global Village is elevated by 90 different cultures from all around the world, that give you the glimpse of rich heritage, immerse you in arts, seamlessly drive you into buying souvenirs and relish the fine cuisine. Explore comedy and music concerts, street food stalls, thrilling rides, fairytale-like air and in there, fireworks, too. Add Global Village to your winter Dubai bucket-list.
