Tips for Efficient Shopping<\/h3>\n<p>There are several things to be aware of for efficient shopping at Desert Hills Outlets.<\/p>\n<p><mark class=\"hl-yellow\">Especially during holiday season, the crowds are incomparably worse than other days, so you need to be careful!<\/mark><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300; font-size: 18px;\"><strong>Visit on Weekdays, Avoiding Black Friday<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><mark class=\"hl-pink\">This is the <strong>most important point<\/strong> &#8211; if you want to enjoy relaxed, normal shopping, you should definitely <strong>avoid Black Friday and similar events<\/strong>!<\/mark><\/p>\n<p>According to people who have visited on Black Friday, <strong>the large parking lots become completely full, restrooms become insufficient, and it gets so crowded that even food and drinks run out<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll spend time searching for parking, and even just paying for items involves waiting like at a theme park.<\/p>\n<p>On regular weekdays, you can park close to the stores and enjoy comfortable shopping, so that&#8217;s recommended!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300; font-size: 18px;\"><strong>Stay Hydrated, Dress Light, and Bring a Jacket Just in Case<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><mark class=\"hl-yellow\">Cabazon, where Desert Hills Outlets is located, has a desert climate, so it gets extremely hot in summer.<\/mark><\/p>\n<p>Especially from July to early September, temperatures can exceed 40\u00b0C (104\u00b0F).<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Japan&#8217;s hot and humid summers, the humidity is low, so it&#8217;s relatively cool in the shade of trees or buildings, but don&#8217;t forget sunscreen, a hat, and hydration.<\/p>\n<p><mark class=\"hl-yellow\">If you&#8217;re used to Japan&#8217;s high humidity, you might become dehydrated without realizing it, so it&#8217;s recommended to consciously drink water frequently.<\/mark><\/p>\n<p>Also, since the grounds are extensive, it&#8217;s recommended to wear comfortable clothes and shoes for walking around,<\/p>\n<p>but bring a jacket just in case as it can get cold in the mornings and evenings, and the air conditioning in stores can be strong!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DAUN5V-TsF5\/\" style=\"max-width:540px;
