The Dubai Shopping Festival runs from mid-January to mid-February attracting over 3 million tourists from around the globe. During the Dubai Shopping Festival, shopping is not the only enthrallment - nightly firecrackers demonstrations occur over the Dubai Creek as well as music, dancing and drama and a worldwide fun fair. Dubai has 25 malls and many conventional open-air bazaars known as souqs. Another underline is the Carpet Oasis with over 100,000 different types and sizes of carpets. Shopping is chiefly tax-free and traders will trade in products from other countries with very few duties or export tax. During the summer months, Dubai also witnesses a huge podium called the Dubai Summer Surprises. The Dubai Summer Surprises affair is eye-catching to families who can extend activities throughout the summer season.
