Now held for its 13th edition, Dubai Summer Surprises hosts a range of shopping festivities and fun events for all ages providing continual venues for fun, excitement and indulgence.

The initiative for the Dubai Shopping Festival was founded by HH. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and incorporates two events: The Dubai Shopping Festival, taking place during cooler months and Dubai Summer Surprises, lasting for 10 weeks (17 June- 7 August) and offering 10 surprise events. This year’s edition has a budget of 60 million Dirhams to stage shopping promotions, musical concerts, tradition and culture activities, and various prizes to be won.
Apart from the fact that this shopping festivity brings terrific sales and includes 6000 retail outlets with discounts up to 70%, this year there is also a spa package promotion with up to 50% off selected spa treatments and therapies. Forty spas are participating in the festival and will offer Dubai residents a chance to indulge in fantastic services. You can delight in body scrubs, Moroccan baths, beautifying and detoxifying treatments, reflexology and countless other special treatments allowing you to relax and self-pamper.
Dubai Summer Surprises is an extra-special shopping bonanza which will allow you to enjoy, relax, and indulge in Dubai during the summer.
