Ski Dubai and Snow Abu Dhabi will host Winter Wonderland celebrations in December, with Ski Dubai running from December 1-25 and Snow Abu Dhabi from December 12-25.
The return of the festive tradition will feature opportunities for families and friends to meet Santa Claus and his elves, mail wish lists to the North Pole, and take photographs in a forest of Christmas trees surrounded by real snow.
This year marks the introduction of sensory-friendly sessions at both venues, aligned with Majid Al Futtaim‘s Dare Today, Change Tomorrow sustainability strategy, which emphasises diversity and inclusion.
