Where to find Santa in Dubai?

Catch Santa on Christmas at these Santa’s Grottos around the city.
1. FAIRMONT THE PALM
Cost: Free

We adore the idea of a storytelling Santa Claus, so we’ll be making a beeline for this Santa’s Hut and its thrice weekly reading sessions this month. Extra credit to the organisers for getting into the true spirit of the season too – a half hour session will cost you nothing more than a festive smile.
Renowned for offering one of Dubai’s most authentic Santa experiences, Wafi’s grotto draws huge crowds every year. If you can face the wait, kids will receive a framed photo of their experience and a gift from the man himself, as well as free entry to the mall’s Kids Connection play facility.
3. SKI DUBAI
Cost: Dhs100

Don your snowsuit and head into the icy cold of Ski Dubai for a truly magical grotto experience. From the log fire in Santa’s cabin to hot chocolates at the on-slope café, this is as close to Lapland as you can get in the desert. Want to make a day of it? Upgrade options include snow park entry and visits to the Ski Dubai penguins.
4. Kids HQ
Cost: Dhs100

Join Santa in his toy factory for a fun afternoon of party games, gingerbread decorating, tree ornament crafting and time with the big man himself. There’ll be hot chocolate with marshmallows and a free photo booth too.
5. Oasis Mall
Santa is waiting to meet you at Oasis Mall! Visit Santa from 5pm – 9pm on weekdays and 4pm – 11 pm on weekends.
Spend AED 40 and get a framed photo, a soft toy, a smoothie & a muffin from Jamba Juice, a single ride voucher from Funcity and an ice cream scoop from Gelato Divino!
