He said, “We’ve worked closely with our retail partners to bring visitors some of the best offers and experiences they can get in Dubai.”

Shoppers enjoyed deals on brands such as Missguided and Decathlon, and popular labels such as Adidas, Mango, MAC, Tory Burch, Max Mara, Bauhaus, and Other Stories, Diesel, American Eagle and Massimo Dutti.

Residents who partook in the shopping extravaganza said after a difficult year amid the pandemic, a weekend of retail therapy was helpful. Furthermore, social distancing norms were well managed in the outlets, according to visitors. Sharri Sharma, a resident of Dubai and housewife said, “Since the pandemic, we’ve been doing a lot of our shopping online. However, it felt good to get out this weekend and do some in-store shopping.”

She added, “My family and I went to Dubai Mall. It was more crowded than usual, however, people maintained adequate distance between each other.”

Another expatriate Mary Brewer, said, “Dubai has always been an incredible shopping destination. The deals have been great. My husband and I stuck to buying online. We did not want to risk going to busy malls.”
