7 Ways To Celebrate Christmas In Dubai If You’re Broke

It’s Christmas Eve and you’re excited about tomorrow, obvs. But chances are you’re broke. C’mon it’s the end of the month and the year and that sort of situation is completely understandable. 

So if you’re looking for a way to get through the day keeping your pocket status in mind, here are some ideas:

1. Tell friends you’ve got to be at the office

The place you’re not really fond of year-round could be your safe zone tomorrow. Even if you have absolutely nothing to do, just go there and spend a couple of hours on YouTube.

2. Attend every party you’re invited to

Free food, free booze – always a good idea!

3. Pretend you’re unwell

Nobody wants those nasty germs during festive season and they’ll probably ask you to stay home – makes things easy, doesn’t it?

4. Host a potluck party

Ask friends and family to bring the food, beverages and gifts. If anyone asks what’s your contribution to the celebration…well, you’re giving them your home to use.

5. Go to one of the free Christmas markets

And who knows they might be giving away festive treats.

6. Spend the evening in Downtown Dubai

The beautifully lit boulevard feels festive whether it’s Christmas or not.

7. Beg, borrow but do not steal

Ask your BFFs for the moolah and promise to return it in the new year.
