Christmas in Abu Dhabi 2019: A sunset Santa chase and festive market is coming to Saadiyat Island

There’s festive fun for the whole family at Saadiyat Beach Golf Club

Christmas is getting so close and we can hardly contain our excitement.

Our secret Santa presents are bought and wrapped and with all the takeaway turkeys, Christmas day brunches, Boxing Day and Christmas Eve events and more, it’s fair to say that we’re excited.

Ready to get into the Christmas spirit?

This weekend at the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, a massive festive celebration is set to take place.

Little ones can take part in the Santa chase on December 14 and a special festive market will also take place where you can pick up some last minute gifts or even spoil yourself.

The event invites children to see if they can catch Father Christmas in an 800m race.

Adults can also get in on the action with a fitness event by taking part in a 5km run around the front nine holes and across the beach walkway of the St Regis Saadiyat Beach Resort.

You can register for both races by visiting www.gulfmultisport.com

Away from the sport the festive market you can shop from a host of local vendors and enjoy some festive food and drinks.

Sounds like fun.
