Dubai Summer Surprises 2018 – Latest Events in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The annual festival of the Dubai Summer Surprises 2018 is all set to get underway. Dubai Summer Surprises is an event that was launched in the summer of 1998 by the Dubai government in order to promote Dubai as a family holiday destination. Dubai Summer Surprises focuses on fun, knowledge, and entertainment for kids during the yearly summer vacation and attracts families year after year.
Dubai Summer Surprises 2018 (DSS), the annual citywide summer celebration in the city, will return to the city from June 22 to August 4, 2018, offering a six-week extravaganza of sales, retail experiences and events.
Dubai Summer Surprises 2018 Details:
Six Week Sale
Dubai Summer Surprises will kick off in style with a seismic six weeks of sales, giving customers 25% to 75% off throughout the six-week DSS period. Top name global brands will be offering knockout discounts, giving customers the chance to get their hands on belting bargains across Dubai’s malls and shopping areas over the summer.
12 Hour Sale
DSS will kick start with a mega 12-hour sale on opening day (22 June). Participating retail outlets at Majid Al Futtaim malls in Dubai will offer incredible discounts from 25% to 90%, giving shoppers a 12-hour bargain bonanza. The sale will run from 12pm to 12am on 22 June, featuring big discounts, exclusive offers and surprises.
Deal of the Day
Deal of the Day (DOTD) will offer people an incredible shopping deal every day throughout DSS, starting on the 23 June and finishing on the 1 August.
