Retailers in the UAE, both online and offline, operate extensive sales and campaigns, providing discounts of up to 90% before Eid Al Fitr, which according to astronomical calculations is predicted to fall on Friday, April 21.

According to a poll by YouGov that was commissioned by GIG Gulf, shoppers are motivated by inflation and a desire to "make up for the pandemic years," with nearly half of GCC residents anticipating higher Eid gift prices than in previous years.

The majority, though, will postpone their purchases until Ramadan-related events and discounts are available. The data also shows that frugal drivers are more inclined to renew and pay for insurance plans in advance in exchange for Ramadan discounts.

The inaugural three-day Great Online Sale in Dubai, Ramadan edition, will start on April 14 and feature discounts of up to 95% from a variety of e-commerce sites and online businesses.
