UAE National Day Dubai Mega Sale – Five Days of Major Discounts Across the City
The UAE National Day Dubai Mega Sale is returning with one of the biggest retail events of the year, turning the long weekend into a five-day shopping celebration. With discounts that stretch up to 90% across hundreds of stores, the event appeals to residents and visitors who enjoy exploring Dubai’s vibrant retail scene. Spread across malls, flagship stores and entertainment venues, the sale combines convenience, variety and a festive atmosphere during the 54th UAE National Day break.
A Long Weekend Perfectly Timed for Shopping
Running from November 28 to December 2, the sale aligns with the Eid Al Etihad holiday, giving UAE residents a four-day break. Because the event begins one day earlier, shoppers can ease into the weekend with a head start. The extended structure also helps distribute foot traffic, making it easier for visitors to explore multiple malls and pick the best deals without rushing.
What Makes This Sale Stand Out
One of the highlights is the first-ever 24-Hour Sale at Dubai Festival City Mall, starting at 10am on November 28. The mall will host live performances, roaming shows and laser displays to create an energetic start to the mega weekend. Early arrivals benefit the most: the first 500 visitors receive a Kiehl’s goodie bag, and anyone spending Dhs300 can join a raffle to win a Toyota Urban Cruiser. Those who make it through the doors early also receive an additional exclusive gift bag, adding a fun surprise element to the experience.
Across the city, well-known brands such as Michael Kors, Ted Baker, Sephora, Pottery Barn, Virgin Megastore, Damas and Muji will offer significant reductions. The broad mix of fashion, beauty, electronics and homeware ensures that almost every shopper finds something appealing — whether they are hunting for essentials, upgrading gadgets or looking for early holiday gifts.
Tips for Navigating the Sale
Because demand is high, arriving early is the best strategy for securing popular items. Visitors may want to plan their route in advance by checking which malls offer the strongest discounts or host special activations. Flash deals tend to appear without much notice, so staying attentive throughout the day can lead to additional savings.
More Days, More Variety
With the Mega Sale Weekend now extended to five days, the National Day period has become one of Dubai’s most dynamic shopping events. The combination of seasonal promotions, extended mall hours and a festive atmosphere makes it an ideal time not only to shop but also to explore the city. For many residents, the sale marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season, offering a chance to purchase gifts or simply enjoy a well-timed treat.
