Dubai - The eagerly-anticipated shopping festival will run for 38 days until February 1, 2020.
The eagerly-anticipated shopping festival will run for 38 days until February 1, 2020, bringing the city together for a non-stop calendar of thrilling entertainment, promotions and chances to win.While many came to enjoy the free concerts, hundreds were at Burj Park to enjoy the carnival vibes, family-friendly amenities, and the various food stalls serving delicacies from across the world. Many of them were long-term residents of the UAE who had returned to witness yet another edition of the festival. However, Burj Park was also filled with tourists and visitors who are new to Dubai.
