Dirndls in the desert? German businessmen hatch plan to move Oktoberfest to Dubai amid pandemic

Despite all that, the promoters believe they can attract 4m visitors a month to the desert Oktoberfest, which they say will run for six months.

The Munich Oktoberfest, one of the biggest festivals in the world, attracts 6.5m visitors a year — but it only runs for two weeks.

The Munich organisers are said to be on the verge of cancelling this year’s festival because of continuing uncertainty amid the pandemic.
