Many look forward to a unique shopping experience during DSF 2016

Dubai Shopping Festival is only days away from launching its 21^st edition, and with Dubai’s retailers set to offer amazing shopping deals and life changing rewards combined with exciting activations throughout the 32-day long festivities, anticipation is rising amongst compulsive shoppers.

A citywide extravaganza, the Dubai Shopping Festival offers so much in terms of promotions and deals that shoppers are setting aside special budgets to ensure they can enjoy all that the festival has to offer.  As shoppers plan to enjoy their DSF by going on a shopping spree, watching world class entertainment and participating in raffles to win incredible prizes, even a modest budget can enhance the experience, especially with the great discounts on apparel, perfume, furniture, gold and jewellery.

Shopaholics have expressed their joy that the next edition of Dubai Shopping Festival is just around the corner.

Commenting on DSF’s unique attractions that entice shoppers to Dubai, Essam Wasfi, Iraqi national and owner of a private furniture trading company, said: “My wife and I eagerly await this festival. It’s a beautiful occasion and a chance to shop and buy the various necessities at discounted prices.”

“My wife and I allocate a special budget for shopping ahead of the start of DSF to buy the various items we need - whether they are personal items or home appliances. This year it is no different and we can’t wait to welcome the festival. I am planning on buying a home theatre system as I am a huge electronics fan. I am also looking forward to buying clothes and perfumes.”

Aysar Abdelrahman says that DSF is a great time to pick up home appliances and clothes, as well as special items. “I normally wait until DSF to buy a new smartphone to take advantage of the huge discounts on electronics. My husband and I set a budget for buying gifts for family and also friends - whether it is clothes and perfumes, or even gold and jewellery, there are so many offers we are sure to find a suitable gift.”

“We always advise family and friends to visit us during the festival to enjoy the amazing promotions and offers and to experience Dubai as the best shopping destination in the world.”

For Badr Samie, from Syria, the Dubai Shopping Festival is a great chance to welcome his wife and sister-in-law, who have just arrived in the Emirate. “Dubai Shopping Festival is an important event for everybody, especially families. Thanks to DSF, one can shop for essentials at great prices that are suitable for all classes and that allow you to save money and simultaneously get a winning opportunity. This is one thing you will probably not get anywhere but here.”

Samie’s wife added that she has yet to witness DSF but she is very keen on finding out all about it and to experience the amazing offers for herself.

Soon-to-be-wed Palestinian, Mohamad Eissa said: “This year’s DSF is especially exciting for me as I have a very large shopping list of gifts that include all the DSF staple products like perfumes, clothes, make-up, gold & jewellery. These are all products that I want to buy for my fiancée and send to Palestine. A lot of people have told me to buy gold from Dubai because they have a variety of designs and collections that are not available back home.”

DSF, the world’s most rewarding festival, runs from 1 January to 1 February 2016, and is organized by Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), an agency of the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM). With an exciting tagline “Unwrap The Exceptional”, residents and visitors from around the world can indulge in numerous opportunities to enjoy a unique shopping experience.
