Summer has arrived in the city at Dubai Festival City Mall

With the weather hotting up, Dubai Festival City Mall is welcoming visitors to come and escape the heat to enjoy a cool Summer in the City. With a raft of family-themed entertainment designed to bring outdoor activities inside, the mall is set to be a buzzing summer haven, with a host of prizes available to win each day. With events taking place until the 20th of August, Dubai Festival City Mall holds in store many Dubai Summer Surprises for its visitors, including the chance to win a 2016 Jeep Wrangler and weekly prizes from some of the mall’s newly opened stores like American Brasserie, Sugar Factory.

Recreating some of the most popular activities that are usually enjoyed outdoors, Dubai Festival City Mall has built three themed indoor zones to simulate typical Dubai beaches, parks and outdoor sports areas – allowing visitors to still participate in their favourite activities in the cool mall. These three zones will contain various spaces and interactive workshops for adults and children alike, which include sand art, treats from Häagen-Dazs, Fitness First fitness classes, and kids’ workshops, as well as photo booths to allow guests to capture their experience and take away a souvenir. 

“Our aim is to create a haven for families during the hot summer months, so we have hand-picked the best of Dubai’s outdoor fun and brought it together under one roof for people of all ages to enjoy. We would like to extend an invitation to all shoppers from the UAE to celebrate Summer in the City at Dubai Festival City Mall and create a special memory to share with their loved ones,” added Steven Cleaver, Director – Shopping Malls, Al-Futtaim Group Real Estate.
