Shop Till You Drop in Dubai at the Summer Surprises Festival

Dubai is renowned as one of the top shopping destinations in the world with its array of eccentric and luxurious shopping malls and contrasting traditional Arabic souk districts. During the sweltering summer months Dubai still has plenty to offer, especially for all fashionistas, as the top shopping districts and hotels throughout this cosmopolitan city host the annual Dubai Summer Surprises festival, a 52 day shopping extravaganza. The festival guarantees to make the Dubai shopping experience even more special, with huge reductions across a range of top brands and the opportunity to stay out of the heat and cool down in the indoor ski resort within the Emirates Mall. This year the event will also cater for everyone’s tastes as it will be centered around a luxurious marquee, built especially to show the World Cup matches – the perfect way to keep the whole family entertained!

Away from the glamorous designer labels and shops, Dubai also offers many hidden souk districts. It is definitely worth the adventurous trip across the creek on a traditional dhow boat to explore the hidden treasures and the hustle and bustle of the gold souk where you can have some fun negotiating on prices with the locals, be entertained by snake charmers and try some traditional spicy cuisines.
