Dubai's endless romance with shopping is no secret.
There is a six-week retail extravaganza devoted to it. The Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) is back for yet another season and guarantees exciting deals and discounts. However, that's not all the DSF has to offer. It proudly boasts live concerts, raffles, comedy acts, fireworks, and above everything else–incredible prizes!
For every season of the DSF, you can expect at least five weeks of a grand celebration. And of course, loads of shopping!
So, empty those suitcases, it's time for the Dubai Shopping Festival.
Here's a list of five things to look forward to during the DSF this year.
Up to 75% OFF!
3,500 outlets will offer discounts starting from 25% going all the way up to 75%. At the DSF, everything under the sun is available on sale, making it one of the world's best shopping festivals.
In this period, even the most luxurious brands fall well within the budget. Apparel, gold and jewelry, cosmetics, accessories, home décor, electronics, and exotic goods, whatever you lay eyes on will most definitely be on sale.
