The most important tip for Dubai Shopping Festival is to shop early. Sale items are subject to stock availability; the earlier you hit the markets, more items you will get to choose from.
Get the Dubai Shopping Festival App on your phone. It will keep you updated on the latest offers and discounts.
Do your research before you head out for shopping. Make a list of items you need to buy and do a research beforehand about where to find them.

Elaborate shopping can exhaust you, especially when everything is on discount. Do not forget to recharge yourself with delicious food on offer in Dubai. Along with authentic middle-eastern cuisine, you can fill your tummy with succulent cuisines from all around the world.
When you are done for the day, you can unwind at one of the many live music concerts that take place during the DSF. Do you like fireworks? Who doesn’t? Catch some stunning fireworks painting the canvas of Dubai’s skyline every Thursday and Friday during the Dubai Shopping Festival.
