The Dubai Shopping Festival

A relatively new addition to the age-old tradition of global, national and local festivals, the Dubai Shopping Festival, or the DSF as it’s more commonly called, is an event that offers something for everyone. It lasts for about a month, and takes place in one of the winter months every year.

What first began as a tourist attraction in 1996 is now a celebration of buying and selling that welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors. Over 2,300 shops offer an enormous variety of goods at very low prices. Festival-goers will find even more bargains at one of the most popular attractions of the DSF, the Night Souk. This is a big street market that is open from the afternoon till the small hours of the morning. There, it is customary for the shoppers to haggle with the sellers over the price of something, until both the buyer and seller agree on a satisfactory price.

But the DSF is not only about shopping. There is a wide range of activities that keep everyone in the family happy. Over the years, events such as a food festival, fashion show, carnival and a fireworks display have offered visitors an enjoyable experience. The festival organizers keep surprising visitors with new, bigger and better events every year.

The Dubai Shopping Festival is a fantastic family event that combines shopping with fun and culture, and brings people from the four corners of the world together. As the slogan of the festival says: “One Family, One World, One Festival”.
