24-Hour Sale in Abu Dhabi Malls on June 15th

The 24-hour mega sale will kick off the Eid Al Fitr celebrations in Abu Dhabi. It will take place ahead of the Abu Dhabi Summer Season (ADSS). Both events, which are held annually, are organised by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi).

“We are pleased to build on the success of Yas Mall’s inaugural 24-hour event last year which brought over 250,000 shoppers in one day, by adding in more malls to join in the fun — including the Mall at WTC, Abu Dhabi and Al Jimi Mall in Al Ain,” announced Saoud Khoory, General Manager at Yas Mall.

Organisers promise a “bigger and better” mega sale this year, with 500 retailers offering discounts on accessories, electronic gadgets, home furnishings, jewellery, and sports equipment.

Aside from the 24-hour mega sale, there will also be fireworks shows happening at the Abu Dhabi Corniche, Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain, and Yas Marina. These will be held on the first day of Eid Al Fitr, beginning at 9 pm.

Abu Dhabi as a Sumer Destination
“The Eid fest celebrations and ADSS are annual anchor activations that aim to underpin the emirate’s credentials as a destination of distinction during the summer, especially for families looking for unmissable experiences and offers,” commented Sultan Al Mutawa Al Daheri, Executive Director DCT Abu Dhabi’s Tourism Sector.

“It forms part of our long-term strategy to incentivise the private sector and tourism industry and get them involved in event development while building both regional and international awareness of the emirate’s appeal,” he explained.

“Through this summer season, we aim to contribute to the increase in overseas visitors to Abu Dhabi — especially from top-source markets including the GCC and India — raise the average length of stay of visitors, and position Abu Dhabi as an attractive destination to visit during the summer,” he added.
