All you shopping addicts, DFS will finally start tomorrow until the 15th of February. Most of the shop started to drop their prices. In UAE when it says SALE! They mean it! Just visited EROS, the official distributor of Samsung and Hitachi and they are selling 42" Plasma TV for a hefty 2,900 and 3200 DHS respectively, super cheap! And if you want to send it to the Philippines via FRICO Forwarding, additional 600DHS for a fully-crate protected package for our family. Best deal right. We are lucky that some of the international brands in Abu Dhabi will conjoin the sale for DFS.
I bet, Zara, Pull & Bear, H&M and Topman will have the best sale in town.
This is the time to be frugal right so shop wisely. For the luxury stuff, all will be on sale except for Uncle Louis (in our dreams maybe.)
History of The Dubai Shopping Festival
Launched in 1996, The Dubai Shopping Festival has been a drawing board for events and extravaganzas that have brought people together and allowed for a greater understanding of the world around us by its unique theme of bringing the world to one stage. With a now-famous slogan "One Family, One World, One Festival", the one month-long event plays a vital role in Dubai's tourism industry. It is segregated into many major attractions all with one purpose, to have as many ways of entertaining the guests in the city, and catering to each and every visitor segment arriving from around the world.
The DSF has marvellously redounded to all aspects of life in Dubai, with the expenditure snowballing year on year from AED 2.15 billion and 1.6 million visitors in 1996 to the tune of AED 10.2 billion and 3.5 million visitors in 2006-2007.
