Rewarding people
Ahmad Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), said: “W Motors, Idealz and our retail partners and DFRE successfully staged one of the highest value raffles ever held in Dubai, with prizes worth millions of dirhams won by two lucky shoppers. As part of the super giveaway, it was great to see Dubai-based companies such as W Motors and Emirates Airline and landmark retail destinations such as The Dubai Mall, MAF and others show their full support for their home city and its retail sector, which is a key pillar of the economy. The Fenyr SuperSport and the 1 million Emirates Skywards miles given away as prizes to lucky winners are synonymous with the city’s ability to reward people in unique ways, further enhancing Dubai’s position as a year-round shopping and leisure destination.”
