Kaltham Mohammad Salem Bashait Alshamsi, Assistant Manager, Retail Festivals &amp; Events, Dubai Economy and Tourism was NileFM's guest on "The Big Breakfast" with Rob and Nadine and she shared with us&nbsp;exciting insights about the upcoming 30th edition of the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF).
We are all excited for the 30th edition of the Dubai Shopping Festival. What should listeners expect this year from the world&rsquo;s longest-running retail festival?
We're actually quite excited and busy this weekend as we're launching the 30th edition of the Dubai Shopping Festival, which starts on the 6th of December and will run till the 12th of January.&nbsp;
People who had the chance to book this weekend, have almost six weekends to come and join us.&nbsp;
Can you give us more details on the new and exciting additions to the Dubai Shopping Festival?
Starting a festival in Dubai is very challenging because there's always something new happening during the year, however, DSF is one special festival.&nbsp;
In regards to the new elements, we're adding this year the DSF Nights at Dubai Festival City Mall, for those who love concerts.&nbsp;
We have 7 concerts, every weekend throughout the festival, we also have X-Factor, which is a new addition this year, in partnership with Dubai Stadium, so it's a nice opportunity to catch the artists performing at Dubai Festival City Mall, every Sunday from the 8th of December till the 12th of January.&nbsp;
And for those who would like to have some kind of a different experience in the desert, we have for the first time ever, The Uncommon, which is a desert camp at&nbsp;Al Marmoom, and it will take place from the 20th of December till the 12th of January.&nbsp;
Also, one more exciting event that's happening in the desert is&nbsp;Hatta, launching on the 6th of December, and it's about enjoying the amazing nature of Hatta.&nbsp;
Apart from the Dubai Shopping Festival, what can we look forward to when we visit Dubai during the winter season?
Dubai is known for its amazing winter season, we have the festive season, so the city will transform into a holiday paradise, there are so many festive markets happening at Jumeirah, we have El Habtoor City Winter Garden, and we have&nbsp;Expo Winter City, in addition to the amazing fireworks during the new year's in Dubai.&nbsp;
For our listeners who are planning to spend their holiday in Dubai during the winter season, how we can get more information?&nbsp;
In order to plan your visit properly, I highly recommend going to <a href="visitdubai.com">VisitDubai.com</a>&nbsp;to learn more about the different winter offers, you can also check the Dubai calendar, and if you want to get a quick glimpse at what's happening you can go to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/visit.dubai/?hl=en">Visit Dubai on Instagram.&nbsp;</a>
What is the one thing that you're looking forward to the most during DSF?&nbsp;
One of the major events that we have is the drone show.
We have a show every night at 8 pm and 10 pm, and what makes this very special is that we have 1000 drones flying every single night, in addition to PyroDrones and skydivers. So that's something to really look forward to.&nbsp;&nbsp;
