ByShereen Ahmed

Halloween, widely celebrated around the world, is known for allowing the public to be as creative as can be with costumes, spooky tale-telling and trick-or-treating.

A time when all things ghoul and eerie is accepted, understood and expected. In Dubai, this is also a time to start planning your outings with mates, since you know the ENTIRE city goes above and beyond.

But there’s always that ONE person attending a Halloween festivity, in a flannel shirt and jeans- without care, thinking it’s just like any other day. But it’s not, people and here are 5 reasons why YOU must dress up for Halloween this October 31.

1. Have fun- Don’t be a spoilsport

Why be THAT person?

This is the ONE day out of the whole year! 365 days! Stay in or go all out, that’s the new Halloween motto.

2. Because Flair No. 5 is puttin’ on a Halloween extravaganza

Flair No. 5 at The Ritz-Carlton, DIFC is throwing the Halloween bash of the year, just a few days before the last day of the month, on October 31.

The luxury hotel will host a fabulous soirée, with packages for drinks and food that will suit ANYONE’s taste. Face painting stations means your look can be amped up with the help of professionals, especially if you want to look like La Cavalera Catrina. The Dia De Los Muertos look that’s iconic during this time of year!

This Halloween brunch won’t just have the most extensive range of spooky-themed food and unlimited drinks. But, the entertainment pretty much goes as is: expect scary strangers creeping up from behind you, the walking dead performers’ to wow you with their dance moves (then make you scream) and all the skeleton mannequins to serve as the greatest ode to your ‘gram pics.

The packages are pretty sweet TOO: Starting from AED150 per person!

3. Because you’ll have major FOMO…

Everyone and anyone’s going to be dressed out in these Dubai streets. It’s a fact.

4. Dressing up means winning

…competitions, that is!

The Ritz-Carlton, DIFC’s Halloween brunch will also award a brunch voucher for FOUR guests, depending on the winner of the Halloween costume competition.

So really, you get to enjoy dressing up- seeing yourself in a different light and playing a different character PLUS the chance at winning AED1,580 worth of brunch vouchers.

Winning!
