On Wednesday, December 24, hundreds of UAE residents attended Christmas Eve mass at Dubai's St. Mary's Church.

Christmas magic was also seen going beyond the bounds of planet Earth! Astronomers in the UAE spent 35 hours, over the span of a month, to capture a unique image with multiple celestial objects, one of them being a 'Christmas Tree cluster '.

The UAE is coming alive with festivities during this season. Attractions, malls and restaurants in the city are making the season merry by inviting Christmas' beloved figure to bring joy to children's lives. Santa Claus will be available to meet families all over Dubai, helping create core memories for the little ones.

Meanwhile, massive Christmas trees are set to light up across malls in the bustling city. Some residents are also going out of their way to deck their homes as temperatures across the country dip, providing the perfect vibe for celebrations.

A number of offices across the UAE are also granting internal leave on Christmas Day and in some cases Boxing Day, extending the break to all employees. The practice, set through internal company policies rather than official public holidays, reflects changing workplace norms and efforts to align with global calendars while giving staff additional time to rest.
