UAE Business: Germany plans 4-week celebration for festive season – Gulf Digital News

Germany is getting dressed up for the festive season with the launch of a magical four-week celebration starting November 27 and ending on Christmas Eve.

Featuring various festive activities such as Christmas markets, winter experiences, and traditional celebrations, the country is offering visitors the chance to enjoy a wonderfully wintry holiday.
