What is Day to Day?
Day to Day is a hypermarket chain based in the UAE. Established in 1998, it has become a customer favourite for being almost similar to a 1 to 10 dirham shop online, but offering a lot more value with the variety of sold items.
You can find everything in Day to Day, including household items, disposables, party supplies, decoration pieces, skincare, makeup, shoes, bags, stationary, furniture, jewellery…the list goes on. Day to Day has become a favourite brand because of how diverse its variety is and its affordability. Many of these essentials are sold for less than AED 20!
Let’s check out the highlights of this hypermarket chain in Dubai.
Day to Day Dubai Branches
Day to Day Bur Dubai
The newest branch of Day to Day in Karama would catch your eye for its size and twinkly lights. It is located close to the ADCB Metro Station and has four floors of shopping craziness.
The first floor of this branch of Day to Day is dedicated mostly to local and imported food items. One of the highlights of this branch is the availability of gardening tools at really cheap prices and a larger variety of bags (trolleys, handbags, clutches, backpacks and more).
There’s also a branch near the Burjuman City Centre, next to the Burjuman Metro Station. Make sure you use the Metro’s Exit 1 to reach Day to Day Burjuman without crossing the roads.
