Dubai – synonymous as the “Shopper’s Paradise” – is visited by thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. Due to impressively low import duty and attractively displayed products in beautifully designed shopping malls, shopping in Dubai is not just affordable but also a worthwhile exercise. From designer wear to cool casuals, from precious jewelry to trendy trinkets, from high-tech electronics to latest home appliances and from branded perfumes to fashionable accessories, Dubai has it all and more to offer to its tourists.

The one biggest advantage of shopping in malls in Dubai is that you do not have worry about the temperature outside. With wide range of retail outlets, supermarkets, beauty salons, food courts, specialty restaurants, cinema and entertainment zones along with hotels and offices available within one big complex, these are perfect one-stop place for the entire family. There are more than 30 shopping malls in Dubai with many more under construction.

Other events during the month-long celebrations include fireworks night, exhibitions of laser light, the international fashion shows, street performances, music concerts and many cultural events. The daily raffle draw prices offer silver, gold, cars and 4x4s. With around 6,000 retail outlets and 40 shopping malls participating, the DSF 2009 promotions are slated to be the best shopping offers designed in a DSF edition yet.
