Discounts aside, there are plenty of other deals to scour and raffles to enter this.

This offer is also valid on purchases made online.
Over at Crate & Barrel, every Dh2,000 spent online or in-store will result in an entry ticket that, if selected from a pool, will win shoppers Dh100,000. Likewise, spend Dh2,000 at Dubai Festival Plaza, and not only will customers get 10 per cent cashback, but also be eligible to enter a raffle of Dh100,000.
Ikea at Dubai Festival City Mall is offering a chance to win big without any minimum spend, with a raffle for a room makeover worth Dh10,000.
Cash aside, some stores are offering prizes in the form of white goods and smartphones.

British artist Nat Bowen lives in a villa in Jumeirah, Dubai, and is known for her large resin artworks. All photos: Chris Whiteoak / The National -
Bowen's home is peppered with her artworks including 'Vibe', which hangs in the dining area. -
Bowen is a fan of moving artworks around, to be able to see a piece from a new perspective. -
One room has been converted to Bowen's studio, where she can paint as freely as she likes. -
The master bedroom is a more muted space and Bowen's 'Vortex' hangs above the bed. -
Bowen has been commissioned to create pieces for celebrities including Idris Elba and his wife Sabrina, who went for a painting in the style of 'Vortex'. -
Bowen has deliberately chosen a neutral palette for the furniture, walls and floors, to let the artworks pop. -
Two of Bowen's favourite decor elements include a colourful chessboard and a white grand piano, both in the living room. -
Another favourite piece is an arc lamp, which she says exudes a retro vibe in an otherwise contemporary space.
