"The DNRD has proved its vital presence in the emirate's key events. We have represented Dubai in its annual participation in the Dubai Shopping Festival, Dubai - the City that Cares promotion, and the much-awaited DSS event along with organising some seasonal events locally as well as abroad. DNRD participates in DSS for the sixth year in a row this time round and is all set to make the themed week very special,"

"The DNRD aims to project Dubai's civilised image through its warm welcome and generous hospitality to all its visitors who come to the emirate from all over the world," said Al Shamsi.

"Our continuous participation in the DSS over the past several years has given us the experience and know-how to constantly innovate and introduce new ideas to enthrall one and all. Our activities are aimed at stimulating all faculties of the mind and aim at different age-groups," he added.
