The jolly man in red goes by many names – Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Papa Noel – but we all love to call him Santa Claus around here. And if you’re kids have been screaming his name through the roof these days, don’t worry because I know exactly where you can meet him! Come along, and I’ll take you on a snow-tastic adventure across Dubai to find all the places you can meet Santa this Christmas.
1. Have Breakfast With Santa At Ski Dubai’s Winter Wonderland
