This summer, Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE) has teamed up with Idealz, the e-commerce platform with a twist, for the 24th edition of Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS).

Having already given away up to AED1 Million in prizes since the turn of the summer, Idealz and DSS continue to offer exciting prize campaigns including the Mercedes Mega Raffle and a Grand Prize of AED250,000 cash in addition to various other pizes, all of which will be concluded with live draws in various shopping malls across Dubai.
DFRE’s partnership with Idealz began in 2020 to offer incredible prizes to shoppers and residents.Having kicked offthis season in June, the partnership is made up of two key initiatives that will keep retail lovers on the edge of their seat throughout the city’s summer shopping extravaganza.

DSS is famous as the world’s premier retail celebration that hosts unrivalled offers and promotions as well as amazing raffles and giveaways such as the Mercedes Mega Raffle. Our collaboration with Idealz began in 2020 and we hope it will continue to flourish for years to come as the digital and e-commerce company lends its expertise to further boost the already great line-up of DSS attractions and events.”
Jad Toubayly, CEO of Idealz: “After a very successful partnership for DSF 2020, we are honoured to join forces with DFRE once again for Dubai Summer Surprises. The Mercedes Mega Raffle is the latest and greatest in a long line of initiatives taken by DFRE to reward shoppers in the city and we are thrilled to be a part of it. Over the 10 weeks of shopping extravagance this summer, we at Idealz aim to give away over AED5 million worth of prizes across the various prize categories on our digital platforms, which are accessible to all customers from within the UAE and abroad, thus, opening up DSS to the entire world.”
