Dubai set for shopping frenzy with The Big Clearance Sale

Dubai’s retail offering is set to hit new heights when The Big Clearance Sale returns to the emirate from 1-3 September at Dubai World Trade Centre’s Za’abeel Halls 1, 2 and 3.

Bringing together some of the biggest retail groups – Azadea Group, Apparel Group, M. H. Alshaya Co, Al Ghurair Retail and Landmark Group – under one roof, The Big Clearance Sale will give residents and visitors the opportunity to buy an array of designer products from their favourite international brands at unmatchable prices. Shoppers can expect over 80% off on a host of merchandise, ranging from fashion apparel and accessories, to cosmetics, perfumes, shoes and much more.

The three-day event features over 40 international brands, including  Zara Home, Salsa, Old Navy, Juicy Couture, Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole, Tommy Hilfiger, Debenhams, Topshop, H&M, Springfield and Steve Madden, to name a few.

Organised by the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), an agency of the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism), the event aims to further enhance Dubai’s position as a year-round tourism destination offering unique  leisure, shopping and entertainment experiences.

Saeed Mohammed Mesam Alfalasi, Executive Director, Retail and Strategic Alliances, DFRE, said: “Now a permanent fixture in Dubai’s retail calendar, The Big Clearance Sale has helped to further reinforce Dubai’s position as the leading shopping destination in the region.  This popular event provides the perfect environment for shoppers to snap up a bargain or two, while giving retailers an opportunity to hold a one-of-a-kind end-of-season sale prior to introducing their new collections. Following closely on the success of Dubai Summer Surprises, we believe The Big Spring Clearance Sale will help keep up the momentum in the retail sector.

“The Big Clearance Sale is a reflection of the energy and inspiration of Dubai, offering amazing deals from world-famous brands, and we invite residents and visitors to make the most of the city’s many shopping experiences, delivering great value, quality and style.”

The favourable timing of the sale coincides with the return of many Dubai residents from their summer holidays overseas, giving parents the opportunity to scout for essential items before the start of the new school year.

As part of efforts to make The Big Clearance Sale a rewarding experience, every visitor will obtain a ‘Visit and Win’ raffle coupon that will be entered into a daily draw, offering two prizes of AED 5,000 in cash. Additionally, shoppers who spend AED 300 will be entitled to a ‘Shop and Win’ raffle coupon that will be entered into a draw on the last day of the event to win the grand prize of a Jeep Wrangler Sport.

On its first two days (1-2 September), the event will run daily from 10am till midnight, and then  open from 10am till 8pm on the final day on 3 September. Entry to the event is free.
