"The tree goes on, the choir starts, and the palace does its thing."
Emirates Palace lights its Christmas tree on 11 December from 6pm to 8pm, with a choir, a festive train and the White Christmas village open around the Grand Dome. No ticket, which is rare for anything inside these gates.
Go for the tree and stay for the village.
★ MUST DO
“Arrive by 6pm and stand on the dome side. The switch flips once and the crowd is three deep by 6.30pm.”
West Corniche Road, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi Corniche
★ LOCAL TIP
“Free entry, valet and palace parking fill early. The West Corniche approach is the quicker walk if you are coming from the beach end.”
