Christmas is celebrated to commemorate the day Jesus Christ was born. Not just in the West, but it’s celebrated with a lot of cheer in Dubai as well, especially among the expat communities here. So, as the festival approaches, there is certainly an air of cheerfulness that’s engulfing the emirate. And keeping up with the Christmas spirits, the H Dubai has revealed its breathtaking gingerbread house that’s not only gorgeous but showcases the Emirati spirit as well.

The H Dubai Reveals Its Massive Gingerbread House
The H Dubai recently revealed its uniquely breathtaking Al Wasl Dome-shaped gingerbread house. Situated in the hotel’s lobby, this is a magnificent 6 m long, 2.5 m wide and 2 m high gingerbread house and it echoes the essence of COP28. Keeping up with the tradition of creating iconic landmarks, this year the beautiful work of art looks is nothing short of fantastic. We say this because the hotel has a history of creating gingerbread structures that are inspired by breathtaking landmarks in Dubai. For instance, in previous years, the hotel has created other iconic Dubai landmarks, such as the Burj Khalifa, Museum Of The Future, and of course even the sensational Expo 2020 site. So, this year was, of course, going to be no different.
