Let’s face it – summer in the UAE can feel like stepping into a giant hairdryer. But hold on to your shopping bags, folks, because Line Investments & Property SP LLC just turned up the cool factor with a sizzling celebration that’s way more fun than scrolling through vacation pics you can’t afford (yet). Welcome to the Summer Shopping Carnival 2025, where retail therapy meets global culture, epic prizes, and passport-worthy adventures — all under one air-conditioned roof (or twelve).
Running from 30 May to 29 June, this month-long retail fiesta is hitting 12 malls across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and Al Dhafra like a confetti cannon of joy. We’re talking mall-hopping with purpose — culture, community, commerce, and a whole lot of “OMG I NEED THIS!” moments.
Big Spenders, Big Rewards (Like…a Car?!)
Shop till you almost drop (we said almost), because spending AED 200 or more gets you a shot at winning a Chevrolet Spark EUV — yes, an actual car! Not just any car either. This is an all-electric, zero-emissions beauty from Bin Hamoodah Auto, who clearly believes in giving your summer the spark it deserves.
And because one prize is never enough — enter the Mall Passport challenge. Think Amazing Race: Mall Edition. Get your passport stamped at five different participating malls and boom — you’re in the draw for an all-inclusive vacation from Nex World Travel and Tourism. So basically, your shopping could send you from food court to first class. Not bad, right?
Around the World (Without Leaving the UAE)
Each mall in the lineup is rolling out the red carpet for a different cultural theme. Expect everything from European festival vibes at Al Wahda Mall, Al Raha Mall, and Mushrif Mall, to UAE and GCC heritage pride at Al Foah and Al Falah Central Mall. Want to pretend you’re in Cairo? Khalidiyah Mall’s got you. Fancy a little Far East flair? Hit up Madinat Zayed Shopping Centre for Chinese traditions. For that Middle Eastern magic, Forsan Central Mall and Barrari Outlet Mall have you covered, and Mazyad Mall and Al Dhafra Mall will take you on a sensory journey through Asia and the Arab world.
It’s basically a global tour with no visa queues and 100% humidity-proof.
More Than Just Shopping – It’s a Vibe
According to Wajeb Al Khoury, Director of Line Investments & Property (and clearly a guy who gets what the people want), this carnival is all about creating meaningful community experiences — the kind that makes mall outings feel more like memories-in-the-making than errands.
Biju George, the General Manager, says it best: they’re redefining malls from “places to shop” to “places you want to be.” With entertainment, culture, and prizes woven into the experience, it’s like malls are having their main-character moment — and you’re invited to the spotlight.
Drive, Dream, and Discover
From eco-friendly rides to culturally rich showcases to globe-trotting giveaways — this carnival isn’t just a campaign, it’s a celebration. Bin Hamoodah Auto, Nex World Travel, and Line Investments & Property are teaming up to prove that shopping can spark (pun intended) more than just joy — it can fuel journeys, connect communities, and yes, upgrade your garage.
So, slap on some comfy shoes, grab your wallet, and maybe practice your “I just won a car” face — because this summer, mall season is the only season that matters.
