Walk in to the Dubai Shopping festival or the ‘Layali Dubai’ as the event is known in Arabic and brace yourself for a month-long extravaganza offering unlimited fun, entertainment and amusement for the entire family. Drawing more than three million visitors each year it has made Dubai the shopping capital of the Middle-East.

Initiated in 1996, the Dubai Shopping Festival was conceived with the idea of creating a global village where retailers from all nations can participate and showcase their products. As years passed by, the Dubai Shopping Festival drew more and more visitors, exhibitors and retailers to emerge as the biggest shopping carnival on planet Earth.  Over the years, it has provided Dubai the desired critical mass of tourists to position itself as the launch pad of hospitality.

Offering branded clothes, accessories, toys, sports equipments, perfumes at throwaway prices the festival now enjoys an irresistible appeal amongst shoppers who eagerly await every edition of this festival during the first quarter of each calendar year. The city registers a steep rise in the number of holidaymakers embarking on Dubai Holidays during this time of the year.

No matter what the product may be, if it can be sold over-the-counter it will find a place in this carnival. With nearly zero percent duty charged on imported goods, it is most likely that you will get your favourite branded items cheaper in Dubai than anyplace else. Many airlines, tour operators and travel agents also pitch in with their share of goodies by offering cheap holiday packages to Dubai that include discounted return tickets, excess baggage allowances, special deals on hotel rooms and car rentals during this festival.

The last edition of the Dubai Shopping festival saw more than 2000 retailers showcase their brands that included electronic goods, gold jewellery, handicrafts, and carpets. More than 150 events are held during the festival like fashion shows, musical concerts dance performances, magic shows and lucky draws where shoppers are offered amazing deals and daily prizes.

The festival’s byline rightly sums up the true spirit of this gala carnival that draws shopaholics from all around the world to its fold. ‘Dubai Shopping Festival: Where the celebrations last a month and the memories, a lifetime’.
