If you love the idea of a classic Christmas, Christmas Favourites will quickly become your favorite among all candlelight concerts in Dubai.

Believe me when I say that this concert took me right back to my childhood with the Gulf String Quartet playing classics like “White Christmas”, “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” and “The Little Drummer Boy.”

And what’s a Christmas concert without “Jingle Bells”? For more than an hour, you’ll be serenaded with some of the most nostalgic Christmas songs you’ll ever hear, so prepare to shed a tear.

Combine that beautiful music with hundreds of candles for a romantic evening and for sure, this will be one of those concerts that you won’t forget anytime soon.

If there’s one event that Lady Whistledown herself would buzz about, it has to be the special Bridgerton concert, which in my opinion is the best candlelight concert in Dubai.

Surrounded by candles in a dimly lit room, you get transported back in time to Bridgerton with hits like “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish and “Thank U, Next” by Ariana Grande played by the Gulf String Quartet.

The ambiance, the songs and the beautiful Al Nojoom Ballroom make for the perfect date night that will surely turn any non-believer to a pure romantic by the end of the night.

You even get to fulfill your Bridgerton dreams by dressing up in your own Bridgerton-inspired outfit.

A lot of us – including me – grew up with our parents listening to ABBA’s songs. So what’s more nostalgic than hearing these songs again in one of the best candlelight concerts in Dubai?

Famous string quartet Azul Strings brings these hits back to life with their romantic renditions while you’re sitting in a room filled with candles at the cabaret of the iconic Queen Elizabeth II hotel.

The repertoire includes hits like “Mamma Mia”, “The Winner Takes it All”, “Souper Trouper” and of course, “Dancing Queen.” Just imagine being serenaded by the string quartet for a good 65 minutes of pure music and romance.

You can’t be a movie fan and not hear about some of Hans Zimmer’s works. In fact, he’s so popular that one of the best candlelight concerts in Dubai celebrates his work.

The famous German film score composer, Grammy and Oscar award winning producer is the man behind some of the film industry’s most iconic musical scores.

Think “The Dark Knight” theme from Batman, “The Last Samurai” theme from The Last Samurai, “Discombobulate” from Sherlock Holmes and “Tennessee” from Pearl Harbor.

These movies have become so unforgettable because of the scores made by the famous composer. And you get to be treated to piano renditions of these songs by famous pianist Magdalena Wajdzik.

Pro tip:

While there’s no strict dress code to the concert, guests are encouraged to wear more formal outfits to fit well with the ambiance of the event.
