(Dubai, United Arab Emirates, UAE)



Photo of fireworks over the Burj Al Arab HotelDubai is world-famous for its annual festivals, and this city of superlatives knows how to stage a world-class event. One of the most noteworthy yearly events is the Shopping Festival in January, when high-profile stores offer lower prices on popular items. Shopping bargains are offered again during the ten-week Summer Surprises Festival.

Islamic events are widely observed throughout the year, offering plenty of things to do, see and enjoy throughout Dubai. Observances such as Ramadan and the Ascension of Muhammad are synchronised with the phases of the moon, so their dates annually drift against the Gregorian calendar.
