… Prost
Yep, it’s that time of the year. Every October, the hop drinking, sausage munching people of Deutschland have taught us to raise a glass, have a dance and chow down on some of Bavaria’s finest food and beverages. After some very thorough research, culminating in a few heavy heads the next morning, we bring you our top family friendly Oktoberfests in Dubai.
Oktoberfest at Sheraton
Jumeirah Beach Residence
With an oompah band, Bavarian buffet and beverages to pair, Oktoberfest at the Sheraton is a fun evening out for the family. You can head there for drinks only, however, if you want some food it is compulsory to purchase the buffet, which was its only let down for groups like us who wanted to have a few steins and munch on a bratwurst.
