From world-class malls to independent boutiques, Dubai is known globally for its incredible shopping. To celebrate the Year of the 50th, the city will host a number of retail promotions for visitors and residents alike.
Organised by Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), the long National Day weekend is the perfect time to indulge in some well-deserved retail therapy. All participating malls and outlets will follow strict health and safety protocols in line with government requirements to prevent the spread of Covid-19, including mandatory masks and social distancing requirements.
There will be a number of limited editions and events exclusive to UAE National Day, which residents and visitors are highly encouraged to see. The VANS x UAE 50th National Day Skate Wall will be taking place at D3 Dubai. On November 28, VANS will install a Skate Wall at the Dubai Design District, a vibrant activation which highlights that VANS and the UAE share the same core values of determination, community, inclusivity and self-expression. On December 2 from 4 until 6 pm, a regional artist will awe the audience by drawing live on the installation, after which event attendees will be invited to take one of the 50 skateboards home for free! Talk about a memorable way to celebrate the UAE’s Golden Jubilee
