What does the Dubai Shopping Festival mean to you? Have you stopped buying so you can take advantage of the bargains on offer?
Do you think the DSF will be the same as it was in previous years? What are you hoping to buy? Will you be attending many of the events?
Your comments
DSF is all about activities and enjoying all the events taking place during that period and getting good bargains.
I just hope that this DSF is full of fun and entertainment.

I will be leaving for Dubai on the 30th of January for my first visit and am very excited that the DSF will be under way. I look forward to bargains, unique offerings and an extravaganza that puts Canadian shopping to shame... don't let me down!

I am an Indian and I am living in Dubai since 1995. I am enjoying DSF every year, and I am sure this year I will also enjoy something. I love attending events, I love to see fireworks and bargains too.

I had attended 10 DSFs, earlier we found DSF very interesting but last couple of years I am not intrested any more because everything is same since the beginning. DSF should be the diffrent then previous and more interesting.

Guess what, most awaited event of the year is here, but how would I gather courage to struggle my way through the traffic. Even if i get past it, entrance to Global Village ain't too broad for handling traffic. Even if I get past it, parking would remain bigger issue. I would love to visit all the country stalls, but the thought of fighting my way back home would be lingering in my mind. And guess what, it would be another struggle to get out, drive through traffic and get back home. I might as well skip DSF here after :-)

I hope I see the "one family" theme truly happen. I hope to see peace and love every where I go in Dubai this January.

The DSF is fantastic.I tell all the people I know to visit Dubai (UAE) during DSF. It is a pity about the traffic congestion, but the show must go on. The organisors must be complimented for an excellent job.

I didn't feel any reduction in the price of product. But we can see if you buy one another will get may be free as a gift. Moreover the shopping, I can enjoy with friends the eve of festival days with various countries demonstrations and acrobatics. This is the festival experience as an ordinary man.

To me DSF means crowded malls, crowded malls and crowded malls.

It's one of the most fantastic carnivals I have seen in UAE. I hope it will be much better than that of last year. It will be tough for me to attend all the shows leaving my office, I will miss it.
