Running until Thursday, January 7, 2024, the Madinat Festive Market has transformed Fort Island into a magical winter wonderland. Best of all, it’s free entry for all to enjoy. As well as a traditional chalet-style market and live band, there will be plenty of festive food and drinks to fuel up on (mulled wine, anyone?). The little ones’ faces will be shining bright with a snow fight zone, bungee jumping, a North Pole train ride, and a Venetian carousel. You can even create some cute memories by taking an Abra ride with Santa.
