Dubai Shopping Festival, an event not to miss

Dubai, the city of gold, is one of the world’s best holiday destinations. Due to its modern buildings with jaw-dropping architecture, sophisticated and prestigious lifestyle, rich heritage, kind people and amazing hospitality, Dubai successfully welcomes millions of visitors yearly

Among the top reasons that drive people to visit Dubai is the Dubai Shopping Festival that takes place every year in January. This worldwide known festival started in 1994 and continued to grow every year incredibly. What is special about shopping in Dubai is the variety of goods and shops from international brands. In Dubai, for sure, you will find what suits you in clothes, shoes, household items, accessories, gold and jewellery, diamonds and pearls.

As the popular nickname for Dubai (The city of gold) suggests, buying gold in Dubai is the most remarkable shopping you can do while in the city. Why is that?

Well, the most obvious answer is the gold price in Dubai. Gold prices in Dubai are relatively lower compared to other parts of the world because only VAT (value-added tax) is applicable. No other taxes are added to the gold price. During Dubai Shopping Festival, prices may reach half with the amazing discounts and offers offered during this time. Adding to this is the fact that visitors can claim back their VAT upon departure (around 50% of the paid tax). Therefore, you will end up buying gold sets in amazing designs at incredibly lower prices.

Gold in Dubai is pure, and due to government regulations, there is almost zero chance to get cheated in Dubai or receiving fake gold. All gold jewellery is stamped with hallmarks that indicate the purity of the gold used in the piece you are buying.

What makes gold shops unique in Dubai is the varieties of jewellery you may find. Gold shops in Dubai, even the local gold jewellery brands, will display the finest gold jewellery of different types such as Emirati/Gulf traditional jewellery, Italian, Turkish and Indian gold jewellery, among others, whether you are after stylish gold earrings, a diamond engagement ring, or a traditional head gold ornament such as Tassah.

We, at Al Romaizan, invite you to visit Dubai Shopping Festival, which will take place from 15th Dec- 29th Jan, and enjoy our special offers in gold and jewellery. We have 12 gold shops in Dubai, alongside 40+ branches in every emirate.
