The holiday spirit is coming back to life in Expo Dubai as preparations are underway to reopen Winter City, one of the most beloved seasonal attractions in the UAE. Part of the Al Wasl Season festivities, this family-favorite event welcomed more than 200,000 visitors in 2024, and it’s gearing up for an even bigger return this year.
Running from December 6 to 31, Winter City will once again transform Al Wasl Plaza into a spectacular winter escape, filled with festive lights, decorations, themed food stalls, and endless activities for kids and grown-ups alike. Expect snowy skies, twinkling music, and dazzling light shows all around the iconic Al Wasl Dome.
This year brings a fresh twist to the celebrations with the introduction of a dedicated Disney holiday zone. Families can look forward to cozying up with classic holiday movies in a magical new setting, adding an extra layer of joy to the experience.
What makes Winter City special isn’t just the decor—it’s the memories it creates. Included with your entry ticket are a variety of free attractions that promise to keep the whole family entertained. Children can meet Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus, watch the tree-lighting ceremony, enjoy the thrill of snowfall under the dome, write heartfelt letters to Santa, and join creative holiday-themed workshops.
There’s also a festive treasure hunt—Find Santa’s Helper—offering daily prizes for lucky winners, plus the chance to collect stamps and souvenirs with the Winter City Passport Adventure. And of course, admission to the Disney movie zone is included for everyone to enjoy holiday classics together.
With its mix of tradition, excitement, and a sprinkle of holiday magic, Winter City at Expo Dubai is set to be the perfect place to celebrate the season. Whether you’re coming with little ones or just looking to soak up some winter cheer, this festive wonderland promises unforgettable moments for all.
