In pictures: Dubai Shopping Festival markets open up across the city

With the latest edition of the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) underway right now, DSF Markets have also popped up across the city. DSF – currently in its 27th edition – began on December 15 and will run until January 30, 2022. The free-to-attend DSF Markets can be found in various locations across the city including Al Seef, Burj Park Downtown, Rigga and Global Village. This year, the DSF Market in Al Seef will be transformed into a outdoor playhouse and museum, complete with educational interactive art pieces. Visitors of all ages may interact, study, and play in four zones—named after the elements water, air, earth, and fire—while learning more about the emirates’ culture and history. At Al Rigga, visitors can shop for clothes or shoes, or even homeware essentials. One of the many highlights is the Etisalat Market OTB, which returns to Burj Park with an Asian pop culture theme. It features food kiosks, shopping and live entertainment including a roller skate rink, padel court and the region’s debut ‘Hello Kitty’ show.
