Christmas Eve is always full of promises for joy, unity, and wonderful experiences. However, many people find themselves too busy with preparations, cooking, organising, and dealing with numerous other tasks. By the time they get to have their dinner, the feeling of relaxation has already become impossible.

Let’s do things differently this year!

Imagine a night where everything is done for you. Dinner is prepared, the city lights up at your feet, music sets the mood, and all that is left to do is relax, have a drink and share the moment with your loved ones.

This is what Nazcaa offers for Christmas Eve – a memorable experience at the top of Downtown Dubai, merging Peruvian legacy and Japanese perfectionism with the atmosphere of this magical time of year.

A Christmas Eve Framed by Dubai's Skyline

A truly unique experience awaits you this Christmas with the Burj Khalifa’s brilliant illumination!

Nazcaa provides some of the best panoramic views of all that Downtown Dubai has to offer, both from within the sophisticated establishment and from its beautiful rooftop terrace—and when the sky darkens, and the city begins to dazzle with its lights, the entire ambience becomes more festive, romantic, intimate and memorable.

With its warm lighting, seasonal decorations, and live entertainment, Nazcaa creates an atmosphere that is both elegant and welcoming, maintaining the cosiness that is at the heart of why we celebrate Christmas on the evening before.

Whether you’re enjoying an intimate evening for two, hosting a gathering with your closest friends, or celebrating as a family, the setting at Nazcaa establishes a conducive environment for you to create a truly memorable experience.

Discover the Spirit of Christmas Through Beyond Nikkei Cuisine

A delightful meal is an essential component of a truly memorable Christmas dinner.

Nazcaa's culinary philosophy is based on "Beyond Nikkei", a modern and creative interpretation of the cultural relationship between Japan and Peru. By combining exciting, vivid tastes, traditional and modern cooking techniques together with visually appealing plating, Nazcaa's menu delivers dishes that are equally exciting and comforting as part of the festive season.

Nazcaa guests start their evening with fresh and vibrant starters that showcase unique textures, colours and flavours through the use of multiple cooking methods. Nazcaa's ceviches have made a significant part of the Nazcaa experience. They are known for their freshness, balance, and attention to detail. Ceviches such as our Hirame Tiradito and Royal Guard Tiradito are prime examples of our commitment to precision and creativity in our kitchen.

Each course has been carefully prepared to provide the opportunity to explore these unique flavours through fresh, perfectly portioned sushi and expertly grilled robata. Premium systems, seasonal produce, and beautifully presented meals are a part of a full dining experience to be enjoyed over a longer period of time.

On Christmas Eve, these flavours will truly shine. They offer a range of emotions, joy, intrigue, and togetherness, all around the table.

The Perfect Time to Arrive

When it comes to the best sight of Christmas Eve, it's all about the time.

The timing of arrival when Nazcaa is in golden hour allows you to witness the changing of the light over the city into a sea of light. The evening sky is filled with warm colors between late afternoon and early evening, providing one of the most stunning backgrounds in Dubai.

As the sunset fades and the Burj Khalifa illuminates the night sky, the festive atmosphere becomes even more captivating. It is the perfect place to take photos, attend the celebration or just relax for a moment.

A lot of visitors enjoy this change from sunset to the evening, which can be one of the most memorable moments of their stay.

Raise a Glass to the Season

No Christmas Eve celebration feels complete without a thoughtfully crafted drink in hand.

Nazcaa's bar experience reflects the same creativity found throughout the menu. Drifting off the inspiration of both Japan's precision and Peru's vibrancy, the cocktail selection features an array of refreshing, elegant serves that complement the dining journey.

If you are looking for something festive and warm, seasonal drinks add some spice to the evening, and for the people who don't drink, there are still some refined seasonal options that will not disappoint you.

These beverages offer an extra dimension to the festivities, whether they’re sipped before dinner or paired with a multi-course feast.

Plan Ahead for a Seamless Evening

Christmas Eve is still one of the most in-demand occasions for eating, especially with uninterrupted views of the Burj Khalifa.

By booking early, guests can help secure preferred seating and ensure that every facet of the evening can be personalised to their tastes. From a romantic dinner to a family gathering or a get-together with friends, advance reservations ensure a seamless and fun experience from arrival to departure.

We are always happy to help with special requests, making every event unique and carefully planned.
