We’ve seen significant growth in Dubai’s homeware industry and together with our strategic retail partners, we are excited to shine a spotlight on this flourishing sector to give consumers the opportunity to enjoy unbeatable sales, promotions and events in this space. Along with fashion, jewellery and beauty, homeware represents a strong retail segment for Dubai and the introduction of the inaugural Dubai Home Festival will further enhance Dubai’s position as a leading shopping destination. We look forward to a great first edition of the festival and will monitor consumer feedback from residents and tourists closely to ensure this becomes another festival highlight in Dubai’s innovative Retail Calendar programme.”
