The retail and leisure pioneer, whose portfolio includes Mall of the Emirates, the City Centre mall brand and iconic leisure destinations such as Magic Planet and Ski Dubai, has been a patron of DSS since its inception.
The Group's flagship shopping destinations in Dubai - Mall of the Emirates and Deira City Centre - will be running various promotions and offers throughout the 9-week DSS period that begins on 11 June.
DSS is one of the highlights of the Dubai diary and the Majid Al Futtaim Group has always worked closely with the internationally famous festival and provided solid support.
Fareed AbdelRahman, Vice-President - Divisional Asset Management for Majid Al Futtaim Properties said DSS was a great tradition with a great atmosphere.
"There's nowhere else in the region that has this kind of event," he said. "It's an extravaganza, mixed with a festival, mixed with lots of promotions and some amazing prizes being given away. Plus, of course, it's a shopper's paradise. It's everything you could want in one place and we at Majid Al Futtaim Group are once again delighted to be a key sponsor."
Laila Suhail, CEO, DSF Office said, "Through their continuous support for various Government of Dubai initiatives, Majid Al Futtaim Group has always been, and continue to be, one of the main entities that has contributed significantly to the development and prosperity of the city of Dubai over the past years."
"Their relentless commitment towards DSS since its inception right up to today's challenging financial climate is a clear indication of their wise vision of the future of Dubai, and an unshakable vote of trust in Dubai Summer Surprises and its role to promote Dubai as a summer destination," she added.
