Tips for Travellers
- Before you plan your DSF holiday, do not forget to get your Dubai visa. It takes 2-3 days to get your Dubai e-visa.
- Download the DSF app which would give you information about the deals, discounts, offers, activities, and performances happening around the city.
- Start your shopping early in the morning to avoid crowds. Also, attend the DSF during the early days as stocks and sizes are likely to diminish by the end of the festival.
- To avoid waiting in lines outside trail rooms, wear layers of clothes so that you can try out different outfits without visiting the trail room.
- Always explore a bit before making a purchase, especially when it comes to electronic gadgets and furniture. Different stores offer different deals and discounts, and by exploring you can pick the best.
- Research well and make a list of what you want to buy for a smooth and hassle-free shopping experience.
