Dubai: Dubai bid a fond farewell to the 28th edition of Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) after a 46-day extravaganza full of entertainment, retail offers, raffles, performances, and more with a closing weekend packed-full of exceptional experiences. Organised by Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), DSF is the longest-running festival of its kind in the world and has made magical memories across generations.

And Dubai said goodbye to the spectacular Dubai Lights art installations, designed by renowned international artists and studios which delighted crowds at three locations across the city - City Walk, Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Design District. 

Everybody’s favourite DSF pop-up, Etisalat MOTB, also saw a great turnout as it celebrated its landmark 10th edition at a brand new destination at Dubai Design District. Thousands of visitors made the most of the opportunity to experience retail differently and catch some of the hottest regional musical talent performing on the Etisalat MOTB Stage at Dubai Beats.
