Dubai: The month-long festivities of the Dubai Shopping Festival end today as visitors were treated to several multinational concerts on the last weekend.
Pakistani singer Atif Aslam, the Filipino Bisrock Festival, Indian ghazal singer Jagjit Singh and poet Gulzar, and Arabic sensations Haifa Wehbe and Fadel Shaker entertained thousands of music lovers over the weekend.
Dubai's malls were inundated with shoppers trying to make the most of the shopping bonanza, last-minute deals and offers as well as the raffle draws. The illuminated streets of Dubai were at their festive best decorated in vibrant and dazzling colours as hundreds of artistes entertained visitors with stunning performances, with spectacular fireworks every night.
Yesterday saw an amazing carnival at Emaar Boulevard in Downtown Dubai, a parade with international performances including floats, percussionists, acrobats and dancers.
The last day of the Dubai Shopping Festival 2011 will also have thousands of raffle enthusiasts and shoppers waiting for the results of the three DSF raffles — Lexus Mega Raffle, Nissan Grand Raffle, and the ‘Bag of Fortune' Raffle by Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group. The last draw will be held at Global Village at 10pm.
