Located on the Arabian Peninsula along the Arabian Gulf coast

, Dubai is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In recent times, Dubai has been at the centre of the large-scale construction boom that has been taking the Middle East by storm. Dubai has also been the host of several international sporting tournaments such as the Dubai Rugby 7s, Dubai Golf Classic, Dubai Grand Prix while horse racing and tennis have also been successful in drawing thousands of visitors to the state every year. The shopping experience in Dubai is an attraction in itself with the Dubai Shopping Festival being a major draw. The many department stores and megamalls also add to the glamour and glitz of the Dubai shopping experience.

Contrary to what many people believe, Christmas in Dubai is a really happening time of the year. Although Dubai is an Islamic state, the high numbers of expatriate workers present in Dubai from all over the world gives it a really westernized and cosmopolitan outlook. Add to that the number of tourists that arrive in December to get away from the cool winter and youd find a genuine enough reason to really celebrate Christmas in Dubai!

Though it may not be your typical white Christmas people in Dubai take great pains in preparing for the favourite holiday of the year. From Christmas carols, trees and decorations to even artificial snow, the atmosphere is a truly magical one. The shopping malls and department stores really go to town with their decorations and seasonal offers making Christmas time the season to be jolly!

The stunningly designed Raffles Dubai, UAE is an award winning hotel property offering 5 star comforts for travellers arriving in this desert paradise. This awesome 19-storey pyramid like structure has set an all new benchmark among all the other luxury hotels Dubai.
