style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, let&#8217;s discuss what the festival is about. The Dubai Shopping Festival event is an annual shopping event that the Dubai government initiated to promote trade and tourism in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The festival, which in Arabic is called Layali Dubai, was held for the first time in<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1996<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/sheikh-mohammed-bin-rashid-al-maktoum-misart\">Sheik Mohammed Bin Rashid<\/a> envisioned the first festival to position Dubai as a leading global tourism and retail destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Dubai shopping festival in its earlier years had limited participating malls, with the newly launched Al Ghurair Mall and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/deira-city-centre-dubai-trmart\">Deira City Centre<\/a> amongst the first to participate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since then, more than<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3500 retail outlets<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and around 40 world-class malls have participated in the festival annually. Keep in mind the Dubai Shopping Festival is not just about luxury goods-high street shops, traditional markets, and retailers of the gold souq also participate in the festival.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The festival was inspired by the Great Singapore Sale, &#8211; the week-long retail event held in Singapore. The Dubai Shopping Festival extended the concept to a month-long shopping and entertainment bonanza.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several shopping malls were launched with world-class facilities in the wake of the festival. Another popular concept that emerged was the Global Shopping Village- a ticketed venue where retailers from around the globe showcase their wares.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_The_Dubai_Shopping_Festival\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When is The Dubai Shopping Festival?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/When-is-The-Dubai-Shopping-Festival-2.jpg\" alt=\"When is The Dubai Shopping Festival\" width=\"1000\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/When-is-The-Dubai-Shopping-Festival-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/When-is-The-Dubai-Shopping-Festival-2-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/When-is-The-Dubai-Shopping-Festival-2-768x479.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A festival is an annual event.
