If you’re dreaming of a festive season that feels straight out of a luxurious holiday movie — minus the dramatic snowstorms and long-lost relatives — Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah has you covered. Picture this: twinkling lights, gourmet feasts, and views that casually flex the Hajar Mountains on one side and the Arabian Sea on the other. Honestly, even Santa would trade his sleigh for this.
