It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas - especially now that Madinat Jumeirah Christmas Market is finally open from December 5th, 2025 to December 31st, 2025 at Madinat Jumeirah Fort Island in Dubai.

Fort Island will be dressed for the season with a 36-foot Christmas tree, decorated walkways and waterfront lighting, creating a winter atmosphere along the canals. Stalls will offer festive food, warm drinks and seasonal sweets, alongside artisan gifting booths and handmade goods.

Visitors can expect a full schedule of activities, including a North-Pole themed train, abra rides through the waterways, a Venetian carousel and open-air entertainment. Live music and weekend performances will run throughout the month, adding to the market’s seasonal rhythm.

Weekday hours will operate from 3 PM until late, while weekends begin at 12 PM. Entry is free.
