The sun is shining bright and summer is here
to stay! We know the sweltering heat can get really intense this time of the
year so we have put together a fun list of activities that you can do with your
family this Summer ‘22. So dab some sunscreen on and let’s begin!
1. Game night
How does staying in with your jammies on and
bonding with friends and fam over yummy food and Monopoly sound? Game nights
are always a hit and are one of the best activities to indulge in as a family
without spending money. Our favourite games to play are Catan, Codenames, and
Scrabble.
2. DIY at home popsicles
What better way to welcome summer than
ice-cold popsicles! The best part about DIY-ing is that you can use existing
flavours and ingredients in your fridge and it does not require much prep. You
have a plethora of flavours to choose from – orange, apple, pineapple, and
guava and use fun molds to stick them in.
3. Go bird-watching
Grab your favourite pair of binoculars and
head to Ras Al Khor wildlife sanctuary, to keep track of all the interesting
species you see. A fun activity to do with your kids would be asking them to
sketch the different species of birds and animals they see and compiling that
into a collage or a scrapbook.
4. Make a homemade movie
It’s always fun to look back and reflect on
the simple joys we experienced as kids in our childhood. So, get your kids to
create a montage of all their summer memories. Weave all the snippets and
moments together using an app. And once it has been made and finalized, host a
viewing party for your closest friends and family.
5. Arcade day
Arcades are a whole lot of fun for both kids
and adults alike, so why not make a day of it? Pre-plan by choosing a budget to
keep the activity low-cost. Fill a cup full of coins and go crazy with all the
fun games! Don’t forget to win so you can take a couple of souvenirs home!
6. Grow a herb garden
Teach your kids about different types of herbs
and then get them to plant them in little pots in your garden. It will be an
immersive activity for your kids to watch them grow into saplings, and
eventually harvest them and use the fragrant herbs for a pasta night!
7. Beach day
Plan a day out and about where the sun and
sand meet the sea. Yesss, it’s beach day! Pack your sunscreen, towels,
flip-flops, swimwear, sunglasses, hats, coverups and of course, a good book to
read while you sunbathe! Your kids will love building sandcastles and you can
make a whole day of it. Or jetty around the marina with Splash Tours with
Discounter’s amazing deals!
8. Make a Time Capsule
Create a time capsule with your favourite
memorabilia – including drawings, letters, photos, journals, etc. that can fit
inside the capsule which you can bury and can dig out on an agreed-upon date in
the future. This could be a decade or longer after you bury it.
9. Ride a rollercoaster
Dubai boasts a number of fun amusement parks
and you know the best part? They are indoor and air-conditioned! Way to beat
the heat. Go on and take the entire fam and hit one of the amazing roller
coasters and shoot the entire ride on your GoPro. Check out IMG world and avail
a whopping 30% off using our Discounter app!
10. Plant a Tree
Share the value of kindness with your kids and give back to the environment by
planting a tree for every member of the family every year. Educate your family
about global warming and create awareness about the ways by which we can save
our Mother Earth.
Make
way for the best summer ever!
From outdoor activities to new games to try,
our list of top 10 summer activities will ensure you and your kids have plenty
to do this summer and the fun will go on, all summer long! Check out the
Discounter App for the coolest summer deals. Right from activities, to
restaurants and massages, we have it all. Download the app now and enjoy a

Every
year, as the month of Ramadan draws to a close, we look back and reflect on the
spirit of the holy month and all that it embodies. And one of the primary
values that we try and live by is giving back to society and indulging in
charitable causes.
And
in the spirit of Ramadan, Discounter announced earlier in the month that for
every redemption on our app, we are donating AED 1 towards a charitable cause.
And we owe you a BIG thank you for your overwhelming response.
So,
here’s what we did with your donations along with our own contributions.
Our ‘100 meal’ charity programme was aimed at the blue-collar community in the UAE and saw our team members joining hands and putting together over 100 Iftar meal boxes packed with dates, dry fruits, juice, croissants, and chocolates. This was distributed to workers and laborers across the Al Qouz area.
And
the response was heartwarming. There is no greater reward to one’s good deeds
than smiles of joy and satisfaction! We are grateful to be in a position to be
able to take up initiatives of this kind and will continue to create a change
with every action.
The
initiative reflects the incredible volunteering spirit of Discounter employees
who want to give back to the society we reside in and operate from. This also
ultimately encourages them to create a positive impact on the community in
their own personal capacity.
Don’t fret that you don’t have much to do now that temperatures are rising and the greatest show of all time – Expo 2020 has drawn to a close. This magical city keeps on giving!
The glamorous side of Dubai is the one we usually see but the city truly transforms into the mecca of culture during the holy month of Ramadan and we urge all our readers to check out all of these places and indulge in the rich culture, history, and tradition that UAE offers!
1. Revel in the beauty of the Grand Mosque
It features 82 domes, more than 1,000 columns, 24-carat-gold plated chandeliers, and the world’s largest hand-knotted carpet. The main prayer hall also boasts one of the world’s largest chandeliers.
So this is one you certainly don’t want to miss when exploring Dubai’s cultural assets.
So this is one you certainly don’t want to miss when exploring Dubai’s cultural assets.
2. Explore the Old Markets of Dubai
‘Souk’ or ‘Souq’ is an Arabic word that literally translates to ‘market’ in English. They are traditionally open-air outdoor markets with a maze of alleys, enticing you with fragrant spices, exotic teas, shiny luxurious silks, and the finest carpets.
The first souks of Dubai are as old as the 1850’s thanks to the port city’s accessibility. Goods arrived via the trade routes from Africa, South East Asia, and beyond, hence the markets of Dubai have always been a grand display of cultures and traditions from all over the world.
Some of the popular markets you should visit are – Deira Gold Souk, Spice Souk, and Souk Madinat. But the one we highly recommend you don’t miss is the Ramadan Night Market at Za’abeel Hall World Trade Centre Dubai. The market has over 400 outlets for shopping. They also have a host of interactive workshops, special areas designated for kids, henna counters, and more!
3. Celebrate Ramadan with scrumptious Iftar meals
Iftar is the traditional meal that is eaten when Muslims breakfast as the sunsets. And you too can relish these meals while in Dubai! There is a slew of restaurants around the city offering delicious spreads of lavish 3-course meals, frequented and loved by locals and tourists alike and we highly recommend you to indulge in the same!
But, if you would really like to taste the authentic Middle-Eastern Iftar, check out the tent style camps set up in the middle of the desert. It is truly surreal to enjoy and partake in an Iftar meal amongst the sand dunes with the local Emiratis just like their forefathers did!
There is also a great pick of restaurants on the Discounter app where you can save up to 50% off on dine-in for all your friends and family! Here are a couple of our favourites: Broccoli Pizza, Shawarma Hut, Shah Ghouse Restaurant, The Hub 7 and so many more. Download The Discounter app, check them out and save $$$ with our special code!
4. Shop till you drop with a lesser crowd
Ramadan also translates to a quieter time during the day. This means you have all day to shop in malls without the hassle of jostling your way through throngs of people. Our favourite haunts are Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, and Deira City Centre. And if you want to experience the lively side, then just wait until the clock turns 9 and watch the mall come alive. You will experience a full mall at 2 am!
Also, head on to City Walk and take a stroll around the high-end boutiques – the gorgeous designer stores dotting this beautiful shopping destination. And if you want to immerse yourself in the local culture and architecture, don’t miss walking around the Al Fahidi area and then taking an abra ride to get across the canal during sunset.
5. Marvel at Franco Dragone’s Masterpiece
The impressive La Perle is an aqua theatre located in the heart of Dubai and is a celebration of the city. It tells the story of its origins and journey through a spectacular show of dance, music, and jaw-dropping acrobatics. La Perle is the brainchild of the legendary Art Director Franco Dragone, renowned for his past roles as creative director for Cirque du Soleil and A New Day in Las Vegas with Celine Dion.
The atmosphere that engulfs the audience at La Perle Dubai is one of intense drama and action and is likely to transport you away from the dunes of Dubai into a world of magic and wonder. So be sure to take your family out to see this, because this show is bound to captivate children and adults alike!
Most of all, Ramadan is about giving and you too can partake in this generous gesture. There are multiple organizations donating to charitable causes across the UAE and we are proud to say Discounter is also one among them. For every redemption on our app, we donate AED 1 towards multiple charitable causes. So go on now, download the app and redeem any one of our 1000s of offers for FREE!
Can
you feel the temperature rise, one degree at a time, every day? Yes, that’s the
summer calling! It’s almost upon us and with the COVID restrictions officially
being lifted off, all public places have returned to normal capacity. So, are
you ready to celebrate the shift from ‘pandemic to endemic’ this summer? We
sure are.
So here are the top 5 places to visit in Dubai this Summer 2022!
1. Museum of the Future:
This is Dubai’s newest attraction and is already being touted as the ‘World’s most beautiful building’! The oval-shaped building features an incredible silver exterior facade with quotes by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum reflecting his vision for the city’s future. And the Arabic calligraphy has been designed by Emirati artist Mattar Bin Lahej.
Inside the mammoth structure, you will forget reality and feel like you have stepped into a sci-fi movie. There is even a NASA-approved space station where you can step inside and go on a simulated journey into space from earth! Are you ready to step into the future?
2. Wild Wadi Waterpark:
Escape the heat with one of the most visited waterparks in the world! The Wild Wadi waterpark is located in front of the picturesque Burj Al Arab and offers plenty of adventure for thrill-seekers. It houses one of the tallest and fastest free-fall water slides in the world, outside the American continents. So whether it’s spiraling spins, gravity-defying aquatic roller coasters, or long lazy rivers, this aquapark is bound to pump up the adrenaline levels for folks of all ages!
3. IMG World of Adventure:
Are
Aquaparks not your style? Then head on over to IMG World of Adventure, the
world’s largest air-conditioned indoor theme park, spanning 1.5 million square
feet.
The massive amusement park has four different zones – Marvel Comics, Cartoon Network, Lost Valley Dinosaur Adventure, and IMG Boulevard, each of their rides reflecting their themes to perfection! Don’t miss ‘The Velociraptor’, ‘Hulk Epsilon Base 3D’, ‘Amazing Ride of Gumball’ when you visit the park!
4. Green Planet:
Want to explore an oasis of greenery in the heart of Dubai? The Green Planet bio-dome is home to more than 3000 different species of plants, birds and animals. There are about four levels to this man-made wonder and they are namely – The Flooded Rainforest, The Midstory, The Forest Floor and The Canopy. The highest level is certainly one of the most stunning ones as you can see all kinds of birds flying in colorful flocks together. You will be able to find exotic breeds of birds like the colorful Toucans and Macaws and it’s truly a sight for sore eyes.
5. Deep Dive Dubai:
Along with the tallest man-made building in the world, Dubai is now also home to the world’s deepest pool at 60 meters! Sure, diving pools might be old news with multiple diving pools across Europe. But the adventure of exploring an underwater sunken city is just surreal and we are so excited for you to try this activity out!
The facility is equipped with all the diving gear, so all you really need is to get a pair of flip-flops and swimwear. And to ensure maximum safety and vigilance for the divers, there are 56 underwater cameras across the gigantic pool.
So
now that you have our top recommendations, are you ready to begin your
adventure around Dubai? Download the Discounter app and avail deals on
activities, restaurants, salons, and spas across all the Emirates! Happy
Saving!
A few days separate us from 2022 and many of us haven’t yet set our resolutions in stone. So, we thought we could help you prepare yourself for an awesome year! Let’s dive in right away.
There are the usual and common resolutions of getting fit, starting to save money, or reading more than the previous year. These are all fine resolutions, but let’s be honest, how many times did you make them, then lost track and/or motivation and ended the year without actually achieving them? This year should be different; after all, it is 2022 and that only can make it unique and memorable.
We have a plan for you to stay on track 😉
Step One: create a list of all the things you wish to do this year.
Step two: prioritize them.
Step Three: divide each one into smaller goals or tasks, so that they become more achievable.
Step Four: set a time frame for each of the smaller goals.
Step Five (and our favorite): be kind to yourself about the plan and as flexible as you can. This does not mean that you get to slack or that you stop being critical of yourself. On the contrary, it means that while criticizing yourself; you shouldn’t be too aggressive, you should take into account the circumstances you passed through, and you should allow space for your mental health. Also, it is good to keep in mind that perfection is an illusion and that even if you fall off track, you can always jump right back up.
Step Six: document your progress and every little achievement. This helps your motivation more than you could imagine.
Step Seven: reap the fruits of all your hard work.
Now that you know all the steps to keep your resolutions intact, we thought we could offer some suggestions as well.
Fitness Goals: whether you need to lose weight, get into shape, build muscles, or eat healthier; don’t forget to check The Discounter app for all the offers you might need.
Gratitude or Memory Journal/Jar: This is also a favorite because it is easy to achieve and its effects are long-lasting. Keep a notebook, journal, or even jar where you write at the end of every day or the important, memorable days. Jot down any important events that happened during the day, your feelings, things you are grateful for, etc., and watch how this betters your overall appreciation of life. At the end of the year, open up the jar or the notebook and look back at how much stuff you managed to survive and accomplish this year. Thank us later 😊
Mental Health and Self-Care: Remember that taking care of yourself is not selfish.
Wardrobe Change: We can’t say no to a resolution that involves shopping 😊
Keep Track of Your Health: The coronavirus is sadly still around, which makes this resolution more vital than ever. Go to your regular checkups, eat healthy foods (especially immune-boosting foods), take your vitamins, and don’t forget to check The Discounter for offers related to all of these.
Make More Memories, Visit More Places, and Take More Photos: you don’t even have to travel to do this, so it shouldn’t be too hard to accomplish. The Discounter also boasts a large portfolio of offers on all types of activities.
Start Budgeting & Saving: Important tip: always check The Discounter before going out. Our deals are all year-long and unbelievable helpful to stay on budget.
Declutter: your home, your wardrobe, your office. Whatever you don’t need could be given to charity; which helps you with the next couple of goals.
Give More to Charity and/or Support a Good Cause: a little goes a long way when it comes to charity.
Be Less Wasteful and More Sustainable: help yourself, your community, your country, and our planet.
Read More and Listen to More Music: don’t forget to feed your soul while hustling around during the year. Also, try what works best for you, there are no rules: read hardcovers, PDFs, online blogs (like this one 😉), or even listen to audiobooks… just don’t slack on this
Learn a New Skill: it could be anything: cooking, playing music, a new language, sewing, decorating, etc.
The Final Step (Step Eight): don’t forget to have fun and enjoy yourself. What good is all this if it only makes you miserable? 😊
Celebrating milestones is a crucial part of moving forward. On an anniversary, we get to celebrate our achievements and look at how far we have come. We also get a chance to rectify mistakes and plan for future ventures. But most importantly, we get to express our gratitude to all the people who helped us be here today.
The Discounter came into existence two years ago in November with a mission and a dream in mind to give our users the best deals with the least hassle. With diligent hard work and dedication, we have managed to achieve this goal on a large scale. However, the driving force motivating us to work with all the energy and love we can muster is our main goal. We aim at being the go-to app for offers and deals in the MENA region. This would never be possible without the exceptional support of both our partners and our customers and their constant belief in us.
After more than 700 days, The Discounter team has proudly presented our customers with offers worth thousands of dirhams on a wide variety of activities and purchases. Our application has grown significantly during the past two years. Today, The Discounter includes offers on all types of entertainment pastimes, healthcare services, fitness needs and venues, groceries and restaurants, fashion and cosmetics, salons and spas, home appliances and electronics, and even car rentals and car care services. Our vendor portfolio is ever-expanding which enables us to offer more and help make life easier on all our users. This was only made possible with our dear partners and their faith and trust in us and our mission. They are an essential part of our journey and of our success and for that, we are eternally grateful.
The Discounter owes a big part of its success in such a short period to the fact that it stands out among its peers. Many of the other applications offering deals either have numerous steps to get to the deal, or they have a multitude of conditions, terms, and restrictions. This transforms the offers from an enjoyable experience of saving money to a whole new ordeal, which as a result, might drive users away. With this in mind, The Discounter set out to change the scene and present the easiest way of getting offers through an application. No fine print, no tricks, no hassles, and definitely no drama… The Discounter presented the most straightforward application there could’ve been to our customers. In return, our customers gifted us with their permanent confidence and loyalty. This is our utmost pride and joy and we thank each of them for joining us on this journey and for the honor of serving them.
The Discounter’s birthday celebrations this year are month-long and are just starting! Don’t miss out & check out our social media channels and the application to find out the magnificent surprises we have for our users all during November!
The outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic has
turned the global economy upside down. Dubai, which has one of the most
diversified and non-oil dependent economies in the Gulf, relies on sectors like
hospitality, tourism, entertainment, logistics, property and retail. Full and
partial city-lockdown measures have brought demand in key markets to a
standstill. Like many other countries, the Coronavirus had crashed down the
economy of the United Arab Emirates. Covid-19 measures had a cowing effect on
travel, trade, and business activity. In general, it severely impacted the
UAE’s non-oil economy, which accounts for around 80 per cent of its overall
GDP.
Many businesses faced with paying salaries
amidst the general slowdown have resorted to layoffs after orders started
getting cancelled – both from clients and suppliers. Retail outlets,
restaurants, shopping malls and hotels had very few consumers coming even after
the lockdown. Therefore these business sectors had a huge downfall in their
sales, which led to cost-cutting.
Employers were forced to cut more jobs to help
their respective companies stay afloat during the latest crisis; many companies
are now reaching out to banks to address immediate liquidity problems. This
includes requests for more loans to pay employees’ final settlement. With
employees heavily reliant on their monthly salary for a living, it was
extremely hard to meet their daily living expenses.
Many started thinking of how to move on from a
pay cut or job loss during the Covid-19 crisis. In the UAE, after a strict
lockdown in April, economic activity is resuming as part of a phased approach,
with hotels, retailers and sports providers returning to business. However,
many residents have already been affected financially. In a Mercer survey conducted
in 2020 across the GCC, 27 per cent of organizations stated they had made cuts
to employees’ pay in the region. Some companies have continued to implement
permanent salary cuts now as well.
Are you also suffering from pay cuts and
unemployment?
Do you want to learn to live on a budget, then
we have the right solution. The Discounter aimed to help people in the UAE
reduce their expenses and save every penny. It’s essential to plan your budget
right, especially when there are budget constraints. Get your hands on BOGO
deals and exclusive discounts. Grabbing BOGO deals are a great way of saving
money. Planning your week wisely and smartly will help you lead a happy life!
