Fashion Fever
Alright, so firstly this isn’t just a one mall shopping festival. The Dubai Shopping Festival is scattered around the city. So whether it’s fashion, jewellery, electronics or accessories there are bargains and discounts to be found. You’ll be sure to find something among the markets and malls. And if it’s the fashion, you’re after. Keep a lookout for the fashion shows too. You might discover the latest on the top fashion designs. Wait, there’s more! When the shopping stops (if that’s possible?) there’s entertainment to enjoy.

The Dubai Shopping Festival is much more than just shopping. It’s an event! Music plays a part too. You can go and see some internationally renowned artists perform during the month. Fancy a bit of Robbie Williams? Then make sure to check him out. There are also artists from across the genres and from around the globe including renowned Indian artist Prateek Kuhad. Do some shopping and then have a bop!
