The Dubai Shopping Festival is a Lovely time to visit Dubai

// April 9th, 2010 // Shopping

Nations all over the world, are all of the time dreaming up new and exciting programmes to tempt foreign visitants to their country. Some have had more impact than others. Dubai though must be a world leader when it comes to organising events, especially where the Dubai Shopping Festival, is concerned. The 11th Dubai Shopping Festival will take place from 4 January to February 4, 2006.

The DSF has accomplished itself as the ahead especial “shopping” event in the world, others have tried with their own success, but no one has really been able to match the passion and success of this great festival.  In its first year in 1996, 1.5 million people attended and in 1999 this figure increased to a staggering 2.4 million which ensued in incremental sales of US$ 1.12 billion, and these figures have been growing ever since. in 2005 there was an approximated 3.3 million!

So what is the Dubai shopping Festival?  Essentially shopping Shangri-la. Dubai is know approximately the world as such a paradise throughout the year, but they really lay out the red carpet during this exceptional month, with over 2,300 retails outlets participating, that offer everything imaginable from gold, perfume, haute couture, cars, electronics to handicrafts and textiles. Most hotels and appartments also get involved offering special offers during the period, even the world famous Burj Al Arab is admitted in the hotels. With completely these especial discounts available many would feel that would suffice, but Dubai becomes quite a some steps further. They are scores of raffles that offer very attractive prices outlined below, and Emirates and most other airlines flying out of Dubai offer discounted airfares and much needed excess baggage allowances during the festival. At that place are other cases in addition to, including international fashion shows, children’s events, streetside performances, nightly fireworks, film festivals, and many other cultural events that reflect the emirate’s cosmopolitan character. Plus one of the biggest events of them all, the Dubai World Cup also takes place during the festival, and with a staggering US$ 12 million purse that makes it the richest horse race in the world – not something to miss.

In 2006, every day, one winner will walk away with a luxury car while one kilogramme of gold bars will also be raffled off every day.

Exactly in case person charged Dubai of not thinking of everything – well sorry, we think they have. They were even offering free health cards to all visitors, which entitle them for free medical treatment if required during their stay.
