Dubai Shopping Festival 2012: January 20, 2012 to February 20, 2012

The Dubai Shopping Festival is an annual shopping event in the emirate of Dubai.

Started in 1996 with the aid of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Dubai Shopping Festival aims to promote Dubai as a premier tourist destination and highlight the shopping for which the emirate is famous.

A month-long extravaganza, the Dubai Shopping Festival features entertainment, promotions, prizes, and of course, world-class shopping.

Win a luxury car or high-end apartment in one of the Dubai Shopping Festival’s famous raffles, or visit one of Dubai’s six thousand participating shops to take advantage of store promotions.

Enjoy fireworks in the evening while you sport the new attire you picked up at one of Dubai’s best shopping destinations, then get some sleep so you can wake up early for the next day’s shopping adventure.
