A spectacular light and projection show at the Burj Khalifa marked the opening of the Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS). The festival returns for its 24th edition and offers residents and visitors alike a summer of retail celebrations, promotions, family fun, dining fest, entertainment, and more across the city.

Taking place from July 1 to September 4, the DSS celebrates everything that makes Dubai the number one summer vacation and shopping choice — a family-friendly destination, and a retail hotspot for visitors and residents.

Two of Dubai’s most famous landmarks announced the start of DSS with spectacular projection shows lighting up the night sky. Performed to the song Dubai Kawkab Akhar, the opening shows were staged at the IMAGINE show at Dubai Festival City Mall and the Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai.

The events were open to members of the public who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19. For the Dubai Festival City Mall event, guests could book a table at one of the Festival Bay restaurants, or visit the bay directly, with vaccination proof. For the Burj Khalifa show, guests had to book at one of the fountain-facing restaurants or visit the location directly with vaccination verification.
