Second only to the frenzied bargain-hunting of the Dubai Shopping Festival in spring, Dubai Summer Surprises is an event which encourages visitors to shop, save and celebrate during nine weeks of entertainment. Just don't forget your credit card!
During the festival, also known as DSS, Dubai's vast malls get together to offer major reductions across a wide range of goods. The pull is irresistible; over seven million shoppers flash their cash at this event.
Live shows, activities, competitions and courses keep the whole family happy while the shopaholics shop. Another popluar event is the Kids Olympic Games. Hotels and hotel apartments offer a variety of discounted packages for those who want to make a holiday out of it.
