Dubai Shopping Festival 2014
Although Dubai is great destination for shopping throughout the year, but in the duration of Dubai Shopping Festival the city becomes the most popular shopping scene worldwide. This festival, also known as DSF, was held in 1996 for the first time. Since then it has become a tax free magnet that attracts shopaholics worldwide. And it’s easy to understand why. The UAE is rich with the oil resources, so it has become a very attractive financial and commercial center for tourists.
DSF takes place throughout the month of January. In that month the whole city of Dubai is transformed into a paradise and fashion shows, events for kids, street performances, fireworks at night, water shows and many other cultural events will leave you with a jaw-dropping experience. During this festival Dubai really becomes a paradise for shopping enthusiasts.

Capitalizing international tourism
The nerve center of this shopping festival is the Global Village, where many countries gather to display their culture and heritage through crafts, music, dance and clothing, which brings a unique international color. Buyers have an almost unlimited supply, as there are more than forty malls and traditional markets that entice countless visitors. Started as means to capitalize from and increase the international tourism in the region; today this shopping festival has become a global event popular among travelers, shoppers and holiday-goers across the world.
Every year, Dubai Shopping Festival keeps up to the expectation of thousands of the tourists and native shoppers giving an extraordinary experience for the whole family. The festival is run with a simple moto – One World, One Family and One Festival.
