On the fabulous long weekend, my pal and I decided to venture out to Satwa to procure a fresh Christmas tree.<\/p>\n
And it was a fab experience – one that I’ll always remember. I’m a bit of a festive nut, or ‘aggressively festive’, so love Christmassy things like shopping for decorations and the like.<\/p>\n
It’s a bit of a Dubai institution, and I’ve been told the prices are good. Though I wasn’t really sure where exactly to go, or how to go about it. I did look into Ace Hardware, Christmas Trees Dubai and the like, but some didn’t have the right size, or right price – and Christmas Trees Dubai did, but they aren’t delivered until the 8th and I simply could not wait that long.<\/p>\n
So, Satwa it was, if nothing else, just for a look.<\/p>\n
We were tipped off by a friend for where to go – Hudaiba Street for those playing at home – and headed there.<\/p>\n
As we slowly putted our way in the Satwa traffic, the tree tops from a distance caught our eye, dozens of happy fir trees sitting in trucks, waiting to be taken to a happy home.<\/p>\n
There’s absolutely zero parking, so in true Dubai style, it’s a matter of pulling into the side lane – in front of the trucks and putting your hazard lights on.<\/p>\n
