The UAE's malls, hotels and public spaces are now fully decked out for Christmas, with trees, decorations and twinkling lights heralding the festive season.
But far from your standard foliage dripping in red, white and gold, this year's offerings include a "tolerance tree" created in collaboration with local artists at the Abu Dhabi Edition, a stylish statement crafted by Japanese-French fashion designer Kenzo Takada and a teddy-bear-covered tree that doubles as a charitable initiative.
