Despite starting out as a predominantly American celebration, Black Friday has become a global phenomenon in recent years. This year, it falls on Friday November 29 – and many Dubai retailers have already announced their plans to slash prices across the weekend. So, if you’re on the hunt for Christmas presents at a fraction of the cost, or simply fancy treating yourself to a discounted staycation, a new outfit or a tech gadget that you’ve had your eye on, here are some of our favourite deals to watch out for this weekend…
