DUBAI : Damac launches Dh90m promotions

Dubai: Damac Properties, one of the largest private developers in the UAE, on Sunday unveiled the largest and the most exclusive Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) promotion worth Dh90 million.

The promotion comprises a mega raffle prize with a private Island worth Dh1 million and a grand raffle prize with a brand new Eclipse 500 Private Jet worth Dh5.5 million.

Every property bought during DSF entitles the customer a chance to win either the private Island or a private jet. The property developer also announces a Bentley or BMW with every apartment brought during DSF 2008.

Peter Riddoch, CEO, Damac Properties, said, "According to reports the event expects to attract around 3.5 million visitors this year.

"This festive season which runs from January 24 to February 24 gives us the opportunity to reinforce our commitment to our esteemed customers and creates a perfect forum for us to build awareness and increase sales."

Hussain Sajwani, Chairman of Damac Properties, said: "With mega entertainment events and exciting offers, DSF 2008 is celebrating its 13th edition and we are privileged to be a prominent "support sponsor" for an event which has grown bigger and exciting each year.

"Last year it was just a Jet plane, this year we have added a private Island at the beautiful and serene Caribbean Sea. The Pelican Caye Island is the one of the few private islands on the Turneffe Atoll and is perfect for a personal estate."

He said over and above that, every customer gets a Luxury car. A Bentley Continental comes free with every Signature Duplex and Penthouse, a BMW 1 series with a studio, or one bedroom apartment or office /retail unit and a BMW 3 series with a 2 bedroom apartment or above.

The Pelican Caye Island is within a 5 minute boat ride of the privately owned airstrip on Blackbird Caye and lies one mile south of Turneffe Flats resort.

The combination of world class resort, fishing and excellent scuba diving opportunities, literally within walking distance of this island, makes Pelican Caye one of the most unique opportunities in the Caribbean.

Over 110 nationalities have brought properties in Damac Properties and effective support services are provided by the property developer.

The company's comprehensive customer care program provides solutions through its vast regional network with offices in the UK (London, Manchester), Ireland, UAE, Iran, Russia, Italy, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt and Qatar.
