Dubai Festival City mall is giving away free ice cream this weekend (with no catch)
One of Dubai's most popular malls is giving away thousands of free scoops of ice cream this weekend.
Shoppers with a sweet tooth at Dubai Festival City Mall can tuck into one of 3,000 free scoops on Sunday July 20, to celebrate International Ice Cream Day.
The cold freebie can be picked up at The Market Island food hall, one of the largest food halls in the region, between 10am and midnight.
You'll get a choice between chocolate, pistachio or vanilla at Naughty Pizza within the 70,000 square foot food hall.
And the best bit? There's no catch. You simply need to stop by and choose the flavour you want.

The Market Island is home to more than 40 vendors with flavours ranging from all around the world, including Georgia, Italy, India, Japan, Korea, the USA and Uzbekistan.
The space hosts regular live music, kids' entertainment and pop-up markets.
Sunday's giveaway will also shine a spotlight on Naughty Pizza, known for its fermented Biga dough and theatrical kitchen experience.
Free ice cream in the Dubai summer heat? Sounds ideal to us.
If you can't make it to Dubai Festival City Mall this weekend, then there are loads of places in the emirate worth checking out where you can cool down with a cone.
From old-school favourites to viral-worthy scoops, Dubai has no shortage of frozen treats to help you beat the heat in the most delicious way possible.
Free. Sun Jul 20, 10am – midnight. Dubai Festival City Mall.
