There’s something special about the festive season in Dubai. The city cools down, the lights turn up, and every corner sparkles a little extra. And this year, Raffles Dubai is adding its own signature touch to the celebrations.
Located in Oud Metha, Raffles Dubai is known for its pyramid silhouette and skyline views. This year’s festive programme brings a lineup of joyful moments.
For those celebrating at home, Raffles Dubai has you covered with Turkey-to-Go feasts, festive cakes, and bespoke corporate gathering packages. Just order away and expect the same elegance and attention to detail you’d expect from the hotel, delivered right to your doorstep. Available until 25 December. AED 850 (turkey for five to seven people) or AED 1,100 (turkey for eight to ten people).
Over at Raffles Dubai, things kick off with the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony with festive treats, mulled grapes, and a surprise visit from Santa. It’s the kind of wholesome moment that sets the tone for the entire month.
The refined Festive Afternoon Tea at Raffles Salon takes centre stage. Happening throughout December, you can expect Christmas-inspired pastries and savouries along with live piano melodies, and a complimentary glass of grapes. For the little ones, there’s a gingerbread-making workshop led by Raffles’ talented pastry chefs that’ll keep them entertained.
Over at Solo Dubai, Christmas Eve gets an upgrade with a special four-course Italian dinner, along with handcrafted cocktails, fine grapes, and live entertainment. Available on 24 December, from 7:30pm to 11:30pm. AED 299 (soft beverages) or AED 499 (wine pairing).

AED 450 (soft beverages), AED 595 (house beverages) and AED 825 (champagne).
