Dubai: Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) — the 43-day-long family summer extravaganza — will kick off across the emirate on July 9.

The 19th edition of DSS will offer diverse events and activities designed to create a citywide celebration.

Throughout 43 days of shopping and dining promotions, visitors can also enjoy world-class entertainment and win up to Dh1.5 million in prizes.

In keeping with the ‘surprise’ element, DSS visitors will get a chance to win incredible prizes including the chance to win 12 Infiniti Q50 cars in the Shop & Win promotion run by the Dubai Shopping Malls Group, which will hold raffle draws during the first three days of Eid Al Fitr.

Meanwhile, foodies and families will be delighted by the ‘Eat & Play’ promotion, which will offer instant gift vouchers to visitors who dine in participating restaurants located in malls.

“From world-class performances and events to interactive experiences, fabulous dining options, and generous retail deals, there is something for everyone this DSS,” said Laila Mohammad Suhail, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment.

Residents and tourists from around the world can expect to enjoy their best summer yet in Dubai.

During the festival, the Fashion Forward Summer Pop-Up will take place in Mall of the Emirates between July 19 and 25, and in Mirdif City Centre between August 3 and 9.

The BRICKS at BOXPARK will also take place for the second year in a row from July 6 to August 20. The inspired LEGO decor at BOXPARK will offer little ones a themed workshop and chance to buy tickets to the much-awaited LEGOLAND.

Meanwhile, the Jungle Book live show will take place in City Walk from August 14 to 20.

The world-class show, based on the children’s favourite tale written by Rudyard Kipling, will take visitors deep into the heart of the jungle where they will never know what’s around the corner or high up in a tree.

Visitors can also avail themselves of exciting promotions run by Paris Gallery, Emirates Airline, Dubai Duty Free, EPPCO & ENOC, and malls.
