Capodanno Dubai

When we are speaking about winter sun, a destination like Dubai is hard to beat. With the warm climate and a series of engaging activities for the whole family, the Emirate promises an unforgettable holiday, especially on New Year’s Eve.

It could be unexpected, but Dubai is a wonderful place where to spend holidays. With a large community of emigrants, the cosmopolitan Dubai welcomes festivals of all kinds. In Dubai there is no lack of Christmas trees decorated with traditional European decorations or traditional turkey dinners.

The New Year’s greeting is organized in grand style in Dubai thanks to the exhibition of the most spectacular fireworks on Earth, along with unforgettable parties.

When in Italy the days are dark and gloomy, 27 degrees of heat are the perfect climate for wandering outdoors or spending a few moments of inactivity on the beach or in the pool.

In addition, Dubai has a number of exceptional attractions, such as water parks, aquariums and shopping centers, which make the Emirate an exceptional place for a holiday in the sun at any time of the year. All this can be appreciated in a safe atmosphere and really suitable for families.
