As Dubai’s favourite shopping festival ended in January, everyone will agree that it was another successful month for shoppers and retailers alike!
With over 3,220 retailers, Dhs 25 million worth of prizes handed out, and more than 120,000 people visiting the Market Outside the Box, this year’s Dubai Shopping Festival was one of the best yet.
Just to name a few highlights of the festival, some of our favourite malls, Dubai Festival City, Ibn Battuta, and Mercato Mall, had an increase in overall footfall, especially with the Friday Surprise deal being a hit with shoppers having queues lined up for bargains! We saw amazing performers live including A.R Rahman and Amr Diab. We also saw the KIKO make-up master class featuring Hanan Alnjadah, and who could forget the amazing nights of fireworks displayed at Al Seef, La Mer and The Beach!
One of our favourite moments had to be the winner of the Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group promotion, where a local Emirati woman won ¼ kilograms of gold just in time for her daughter’s marriage giving the new couple a gift they’ll never forget.
With the long list of success from this year, we’re excited to see what next year’s DSF will look like. No doubt that it will be even bigger and better.
