Spending time in the desert of Dubai
Celebrating Christmas in the desert

Bab Al Shams tree lighting 07 December, 17:30–19:30.

This is one of our all-time favourites! Reach the hotel in the middle of the desert (about 30 minutes from Sheikh Zayed Road) for a late afternoon riding camels and enjoying the sunset. The mood is set with live carols, performances, complimentary winter pies, cookies, hot chocolate and the delicious mulled beverage from the house recipe.The evening reaches its momentum when Santa makes his appearance by camel and sits to listen to every child attending. There are gifts for the lucky children in attendance.To finish the evening in the perfect note, you have the option to book a dinner for AED 295 per person inclusive of soft beverages & still water at Al Forsan Restaurant.
