“DSF has played a significant role in boosting Dubai’s profile. Attractions and retail sectors are performing with safety protocols and taking necessary precautions to keep visitors and shoppers safe at the same time. DSF has become a major social and cultural fabric, bringing people from over 200 nationalities. It’s also a magnet drawing people from across the world because every DSF showcases its very best. It did help establish Dubai as a multi-cultural destination for residents and visitors,” said Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE).
Al Khaja added that the 4.5-day working week is going to bring a lot of economic value to the city and the festival.
The shopping festival will run from December 15, 2021 to January 30, 2022, attracting visitors from its primary GCC and the Subcontinent markets as well as secondary markets such as the UK, France, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Belgium, US and others.
