The Dubai Shopping Festival
Dubai Shopping Festival started
on February 15, 1996 as a retail event intended to revitalize retail trade in
Dubai. It has since been promoted as an tourist attraction. This yearly month
long event is usually scheduled during the first quarter of the year.
During Dubai Shopping Festival shops offer deep discounts on their
merchandise, daily car raffles are drawn, and fireworks light Dubai’s night
sky. Tourists from all around the world are lured not only for Dubai's tax
free shopping, but also for all of the events that take place during the
festival.
This year's festival will be hosted from December 20th 2006 to February 2nd 2007. In
2005, the festival was cancelled due to the death of Dubai's leader, Sheikh Zayed.
In addition to Dubai Shopping Festival, Dubai also hosts
Dubai Summer Surprises. It is held in Dubai.
