Dubai: Halloween is still a few weeks away, but Dubai’s spooky season has already started.
This year, the city has something for every age group. Younger children can hunt for ghosts among LEGO models or meet Frankenstein, while horror fans can step into the worlds of SAW and The Strangers. For adults, there are costume parties on a historic ocean liner and at a throwback night in Dubai Harbour.
Here’s where to celebrate.
