One of the largest Givenchy shops in the world has opened in Dubai Mall’s Fashion Avenue, and we couldn’t be more excited.

The sleek black granite boutique makes a striking statement in the luxe Fashion Avenue setting. Oozing with Parisian-chic style, the shop boasts a VIP room with dedicated fitting rooms made of mirror and dreamy pink velvet walls.

Look away now if you’re prone to getting lost in The Dubai Mall, as there’s an even bigger mega-mall coming to Dubai. The new shopping centre will be named Dubai Square, and will take over the title of the world's largest shopping mall (The Dubai Mall currently holds the record), with 2.6 million square meters of retail, hospitality and residential space –that’s equivalent to 100 football pitches!

Don’t worry if you missed out on bargains during the recent Dubai Super Sale, as the dates for the annual summer sales in Dubai have just been announced. Although you might be tempted to escape Dubai’s hot summer, residents may want to stick around for discounts during the Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) sale, which is running from 22nd June to 2nd August –as there’s no better way to beat the heat than to shop, shop, shop!

From raiding your favourite department store to indulging in some retail therapy, this weekend in Dubai promises to be a good one for shopaholics. That’s because the Dubai 3 day sale returns for its 2018 spring edition from 10th to 12th May –so you can look forward to 25% to 90% discounts on fashion, homeware and beauty.

Spring means strappy shoes and sandy toes –but we don’t mind when the sun is shining and our feet look fabulous in newly purchased sandals. From florals to pinstripes with bows, sandals for spring in Dubai need to standout with and complete your spring/summer look.

Shopping can be super tiring, right?! Especially in the world’s largest mall! So The Dubai Mall has created the perfect solution for tired shoppers and come up with the ultimate retail therapy experience…sleep pods!

It’s already way too easy to get lost in maze of endless shops, restaurants and entertainment in The Dubai Mall, but now the world’s largest shopping mall has even more to offer after the long-awaited opening of its Fashion Avenue extension. So get ready to spend on all those trends you spotted from Paris Fashion Week, as more luxury and glamour has arrived in the Middle East!

The Dubai Shopping Festival is back for its 23rd edition, as you will be able to enjoy mega sales, exciting entertainment and fireworks displays from 26th December 2017 until the 27th January 2018.

It’s that time of year when you need to start planning your Dubai retail calendar! With Christmas shopping and January sales, the next couple of months will see a soar in Dubai shopping, as you need to ensure you can still get the best bargains in Dubai during the festive season.
