The Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) was started by the Dubai government. The Dubai Shopping Festival has changed the face of Dubai in the world. During the years 1996 to 1999, people who arrived on international flights to this beautiful land were welcomed with a red rose and a box full of chocolate. These boxes were printed with patterns of the colors of national flag ---- red, green,white and black.
