Dubai’s Wafi City has undergone a spectacular metamorphosis into a magical holiday destination, unveiling its ‘Whimsical Wonderland’ experience that promises to captivate visitors throughout the festive season. The comprehensive transformation encompasses both Wafi City Mall and the architecturally stunning Khan Murjan Souk, creating an immersive environment brimming with seasonal enchantment.
The venue now features an array of whimsical installations and dazzling light displays that establish an atmosphere of creative discovery and joyful celebration. Young visitors can engage in interactive craft stations and hands-on activities designed to stimulate imagination, while adults appreciate seasonal culinary offerings and unique marketplace finds. Throughout the complex, countless photo opportunities await amidst the elaborate festive décor.
Entertainment forms a core component of the experience, with costumed characters bringing stories to life and performers filling the air with holiday melodies. Families can participate in treasure hunts through Khan Murjan Souk’s atmospheric corridors and explore specially designed play zones that encourage curiosity and creativity.
The centerpiece remains the ticketed Santa Experience, operating until December 24, 2025, where children can share holiday wishes in a beautifully themed grotto. This encounter includes a special gift, framed keepsake photograph, and complimentary festive beverage. Ticket pricing is set at AED 85 for general visitors, with discounted rates of AED 70 for pre-registered guests and Wafi Rewards members, while People of Determination enjoy complimentary access.
All mall visitors can participate in free activities including open workshops, interactive zones, and encounters with roaming entertainers.
