Dubai Shopping Festival

The Dubai Shopping Festival runs from mid-January to mid-February attracting over 3 million visitors from around the world. During the Dubai Shopping Festival, shopping is not the only attraction - nightly fireworks displays occur over the Dubai Creek as well as music, dancing and theater and an international fun fair.

Dubai has 25 malls and many traditional outdoor markets known as souqs. Another highlight is the Carpet Oasis with over 100,000 different types and sizes of carpets.
