Madinat Jumeirah Christmas Market
Fort Island, Madinat Jumeirah
Hours
4 to 27 December · Mon-Thu 3pm until late, Fri-Sun 12pm until late
"Festive stalls, abra rides and a Christmas tree with its own light show."
Madinat Jumeirah Festive Market returns to Fort Island from 4–27 December, bringing seasonal food, shopping and live music to the waterways.
A 36-foot Christmas tree anchors the festivities, with light-and-sound shows, decorated abra rides, a mini train and a Venetian carousel among the attractions. Browse for presents, stop for something to eat and enjoy Christmas shopping with considerably better scenery.
Entry is free, on a first-come, first-served basis. Opens 3pm Monday–Thursday and noon Friday–Sunday, until late.
“Stay until after dark for the tree’s light-and-sound show, then take a festive abra ride for a different view of the market.”
“Take a taxi if you can; parking is limited. Driving? Jumeirah lists paid parking at the Conference Centre and Sahat Al Qasr. Budget separately for food, shopping and any paid activities.”
