The Dubai Shopping Festival, or DSF, debuted as a retail event on February 16, 1996. It was soon pushed as a tourist destination, and it currently gets up to 3 million tourists from all over the world each year. It takes pleasure in being a top festival as well as the largest shopping extravaganza devoted to festivities and shopping.
The timeframe of DSF is generally one month, during which time one can discover sales and outrageous discounts at stores on practically any item. Throughout the month, there would be a variety of activities held in each mall and other tourist attractions.
