Things to do on December 22:
Go to market: The Christmas Market at Emirates Palace will follow the concepts of the popular Christmas markets in Germany and throughout many cities in Europe. This Christmas Market will include stalls selling Christmas cookies, cakes and other goodies, and will be decorated with festive decorations.
Emirates Palace, Ras Al Akhdar (02 690 9000).
Eat Xmas treats: The Majlis Lobby Lounge has a menu of Christmas cookies, candies and cakes that would impress any connoisseur. Santa himself would do a double take at this mouthwatering list and all are available for take away. Perfect for a gift for that person who is so difficult to buy for.
Rosewood Abu Dhabi, Al Maryah Island (02 813 5550).
Chamas chicas: It’s a great night for girls at Chamas. Have dinner with the ladies and you’ll each receive a free grape beverage with your meal. Go ahead and try to leave this place without feeling deliciously full. InterContinental Abu Dhabi (02 666 6888).
