From Saturday August 22 until Saturday September 5, the popular mall will be running a load of amazing deals, as well as fun packs for kids, rewards for teachers and online masterclasses.

With every Dhs500 spent, families doing their back-to-school shopping will be treated to a complimentary ‘Back to School Kids Pack’, which is valued at an estimated Dhs170.

The limited-time packs come jam-packed with practical back-to-school essentials such as stationary, a lunch box set, a reusable kids’ face mask, a reusable water bottle and for good measure, hand sanitiser.
