The theme, this year, is Family Get-together of the Millenium. A cash prize of fifteen thousand Dirhams and a 3-day free stay at a hotel are only part of the goodies that await the lucky four. 10,000 worth of toys will be distributed to children on the first flight, courtesy the Dubai Duty Free. More gifts await other passengers who arrive on the big day. Visa rules are fairly well outlined at the DSF site .

Passengers flying Emirates could get their visit visas processed by the airlines in Dubai if any relative is a resident in the country and is willing to sponsor them. It is advisable, however, to cross check all visa information with the airlines before you travel as rules are always subject to change. Over 300 activities have been planned by the DSF committee to keep people enthralled for 28 days. There's a good mix of sports for the adventure lovers, children's theatre, Walt Disney entertainment and games for children, giant rides and film shows for adults, amazing discounts and raffles for shoppers and an exotic spread of local and international cuisines to cater to the palate. If you enjoy watching cultural programmes or intend to shop for ethnic jewellery, bead work and traditional Arab and Asian wear, I recommend a visit to the Global Village.
