Dubai: More than 3.5 million people are expected to spend around Dh11 billion at the 13th edition of the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF), that guarantees 32 days of excitement from January 24 to February 24.

Organisers are confident of smashing previous DSF records, with consumer spending projected to surge 10 per cent from Dh10.2 billion last year to a massive Dh11.2 billion in 2008.

Visitor numbers are also expected to swell five to 10 per cent from 3.5 million to almost four million.
