With UAE schools closing for nearly a month from December 8 to January 3, how can families make the most of the long winter break?

The UAE is gearing up for a festive, activity-packed winter season — perfect timing for the month-long school break. Families can dive into Dubai’s major attractions like the Madinat Jumeirah Festive Market, Winter City at Expo City, and the Winter District at Jumeirah Emirates Towers, or enjoy classics such as The Nutcracker at Dubai Opera and snow-filled fun at Ski Dubai. Abu Dhabi’s Yas Winter Fest offers adventure zones, while Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah host everything from markets and cultural pop-ups to mountain hikes, beachside camping, and scenic trails. For budget-friendly days, free public beaches, corniche parks, historical districts, and hiking spots across all emirates offer plenty of outdoor fun. How about you — what’s your favourite way to spend the UAE winter break, and where are you planning to go this year?
