The Night Souq will be a major attraction this Dubai Shopping Festival

With just about two weeks left for Dubai Shopping Festival 2008 to begin, the DSF Office is receiving applications for one of its famous shopping destinations, the Night Souq.

Based on the idea of leisure shopping through the evenings and late into the nights, the Night Souq attracts several shoppers. Retailers have until January 15 to register their outlets and forms are available at the DSF Office.

While shopping is generally associated with crowds and crowded places, the revamped Night Souq on Al Seek Street along Dubai Creek will feature a new design this year to provide for a pleasant outing for every family.

Initiated during the 2003 edition of DSF, the Night Souq has become very popular as it offers a pleasant outdoor shopping environment with international brands at extremely competitive prices.

Yousuf Mubarak, DSF Events, Operations, and Logistics Director, said, "Shopping is a core element of every DSF edition and each year, we endeavour to enhance the shopping experience for all visitors and tourists.

"Over the years, the Night Souq has evolved to become a distinct venue, including not just shopping but providing entertainment for families throughout the festival.

"The DSF Office would like to welcome all visitors to the Night Souq this year, not only for the bargains but also for a unique experience."

The 2008 Night Souq can be visited at Al Seef Street between January 24 and February 24 – the duration of DSF 2008.

As the name suggests, Night Souq encourages bargaining and includes well-known retailers in Dubai selling a wide range of goods, in addition to having restaurants and an entertainment area.

Retail outlets in Night Souq will be open to visitors from 6pm to 2am from Sundays to Wednesdays, and from 6pm to 3am on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
