Get the most amazing experience of your life with Dubai shopping festival 2014
by Manya Singh Travel BloggerDubai has been the Czar of the shopping world and that’s no
surprise. With some of the hugest shopping complexes under its bag, this city
has been ruling the heart (and lungs and kidneys) of almost every shopaholic in
the world. Men beware, if your wife insists that you buy a tour package to
Dubai earlier next year, don’t be stunned. It is likely to happen coz the Dubai
shopping festival 2014 shall commence starting 2nd January.
From 2nd January till 2nd February
(when it all ends), the city shall experience a marathon of shoppers with
tourists pouring in from every country and city imaginable.
Dubai Shopping Festival, which celebrated its first edition
in the year 1996, has evolved over the years, growing from strength to strength
and amassing more visitors and more retail investments with each successive
edition. The 2014 edition will be its 19th appearance in a city
which boasts of some of the shopping Frankensteins like the Dubai Mall and the
Mall of the Emirates.
This festival is not just an event hosted to make shoppers
trickle in and spend their hard-earned money (rather the heard-earned money of
their husbands and boyfriends) over swanky goods and dresses in top retail
stores. This festival is more of a glorification, a glorification of
entertainment, of shopping culture, of tourism and of Dubai. So, the festival
is synonymous with every aspect of entertainment and frolic. From the hip-swaying
models to the blitzkrieg fireworks to the food-eating contests to the amazing
display of luxury cars, the festival is a rage amongst people of all ages and
both genders.
Dubai
shopping festival 2014 is expected to be as big, if not bigger, than its
predecessors. On the last count, the previous 18 editions have collectively
witnessed 47 million visitors. The year 2013 alone saw the crowd count crossing
the 3-million mark easily. It is no wonder that January will be the hottest
tourist season in the city next year. This implies that a tour package to Dubai
at this time won’t come easy on the pockets unless you are smart enough to book
one in advance.
