Summer is with us once again and the event of the season, Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS), is offering an exciting line up of activities for both children and adults all over the city.

DSS at The Market has already kicked off to a fine start with Ice Surprises, setting the tone for what promises to be a fun-filled ten weeks for all involved.
Visitors enjoyed a range of activities including juggling, magic tricks and games, ice cream eating competitions, meet and greet the snowman, singing and dancing competitions, water relay games, and an ice sculpture and carving display.
The workshops on offer also proved tremendously popular and included colouring, painting and moulding, decorating jewellery with ‘pearl mosaic’ beads, designing your own photo frames and creating your own mosaic.
According to Lynda Soppelsa, Property Manager of Green Community, the response from visitors has been very positive.
‘Ice Surprises has been amazing, says Lynda. ‘This is only the beginning and we’ve had an enthusiastic response from visitors.It’s a great reward for us to see so many people leave at the end of the day with smiles on their faces.’
