Ladies, make sure your phone is fully charged because you’ll be Instagramming and TikTok-ing your way through Dubai Summer Surprises (aka DSS) this year! One look through the DSS line up and we have no doubt that our summer is sorted. DSS kicks off on 1 July, and for 10 incredible weeks we will be eating, laughing, shopping, and having oh-so-much fun.
For all the shopaholics (us included), you are in for a *major* treat. Across our fav stores in Majid Al Futtiam Malls, there will be can’t-miss 12-hour sales on 1 July and more chances to become a SHARE millionaire.
From 4-10 July, Club Apparel brands and www.6thstreet.com will be having a VAT on US Week mega sale with further reductions on their DSS sale prices *and* with an extra 5% off!
Spend AED 300 or more at Mall of the Emirates, City Centre Deira, City Centre Mirdif & City Centre Me’aisem to qualify entry into the weekly draw to win AED 1 million SHARE points. Download the SHARE app on Google Play or the Apple Store and enter your shopping receipts for a chance to win.
Simply by shopping at the Nakheel Mall, you can win a chance to score passes to The View at The Palm, a staycation at St. Regis, and retailer vouchers. Shop around Dubai Festival Mall and get a chance to show off your skills in some fun games to instantly win incredible surprises and every week one lucky person will win…*drumroll plz*…a Festival City Mall Gift Card worth AED 20,000. As if we need an excuse to shop more, amirite?!
DSS is a literal treat for foodies. Just by eating at participating restaurants such as Zaatar W Zeit, Jollibee, and French Bakery throughout the emirate you can win instant prizes with Dine & Win scratch tickets. Eid al Adha takes place during 20 to 24 July and DSS will be going strong. The Big Eid Eat consists of Eid brunches, cooking classes, and dining deals and we can’t think of a better way to gather with your loved ones and celebrate. Speaking of loved ones, head with your family and friends over to Modesh World at the Dubai World Trade Centre and have a blast enjoying the thrilling rides, games, and entertainment.
And as if that isn’t already amazing, Summer Restaurant Week will also be taking place between 11 to 21 August. This’ll give families and friends a chance to dine in some of Dubai’s best restaurants for a discounted price. You’ll be able to enjoy special summer menus for breakfast, 2-course lunches or 3-course dinners at set special prices. FYI, this is for a limited time so you *really* can’t miss out!
We are *totally* checking out the La Perle by Dragone aerial acrobatic show that pays homage to the UAE’s pearl diving history taking place in the aqua-theatre. Celebrity Syrian singer Faia Younan will be performing on June 8th. She collaborated on the Gorillaz sixth album and opened for John Legend in Dubai last year. Award-winning comedy Just Like That is back at the Mall of the Emirates The Theatre. It’s a tongue-in-cheek look at the multiculturalism of Dubai and centers around a diverse group of occupants living on the same apartment floor in a building in JLT. It sold-out twice previously so get on it, sis!
With all the entertainment, shopping, and eating, it’s essential to nurture the mind, body, and soul. For the first time ever DSS is hosting a “24 Hour Flash Sale – Hotels Edition” for you to enjoy special hotel deals, amazing staycations that include food and beverage discounts, and complimentary attraction tickets. This flash sale is only on 1 July from 10 am to 2 July at 10am. Participating hotels include (but are not limited to) Kempinski Mall of the Emirates, Atlantis, The Palm, Aloft Dubai Creek, and the Address Hotels. To balance out all the excitement, you can also ground yourself at Inspire Yoga Pilates and Fitness studios with their 30 classes and 30 days special offer.
While you’re in the midst of having the best summer ever, don’t forget to look around at all the incredible DSS-themed décor. Beautiful lighting, statues, and flags will be up all over Dubai and make for some incredible backdrops and social media moments. We know one thing for sure…. this summer will be *anything* but boring!
