Duty-free shopping is synonymous with visiting the UAE. All of the airports have duty-free shops: two of the largest, at Abu Dhabi, Dubai are particularly famous. Gold and jewellery are still the most popular consumer items, but you can purchase a huge array of goods in these duty-free shops, including cigarettes, alcohol, leather goods, electronic and photographic equipment, tapes, toys, perfumes and cosmetics, luxury gifts, fashions and sporting equipment. Prices are extremely competitive and duty-free promotions, in which you can win significant cash prizes and luxury cars, are legendary.
Dubai Duty Free - (once this site has loaded please scroll down)
Dubai Duty Free is recognized as being one of the best in the world. The shopping complex in the central foyer of the new concourse with its spectacular design and myriad product ranges is a unique shopping experience. Dubai Duty Free stocks a massive range of cosmetics and perfumery, jewellery, electronic goods, music, tobacco goods and duty free beverages. A well-stocked bookshop offers everything you could wish to read on a plane ranging from international bestsellers to locally published guidebooks and coffee table publications. The range of clothes is not enormous, so it would be better not to leave clothes shopping to the last moment.
Abu Dhabi Airport Duty Free has won numerous awards since it opened in 1986. Much modernized and extended in recent years it now offers a wide range of famous brand name boutiques in an open-plan design. Day-wear is particularly well represented. Gold, jewellery, perfume, camera and electronic equipment are also popular items.
