Taxes are low in otherwise expensive Dubai so this is not the place to get great bargains. However there were some incredible offers due to some anniversary and we got some very good chocolate home with us made in Finland for an extremely low price!
Not many people take advantage of duty free on the way into Dubai. Wonderful allowance for wines and spirits. And the ability to buy a few really nice bottles of wine to consume whilst in Dubai.... where prices are very high! Just grab a few bottles whilst waiting for your bags to arrive - easy!
I really like Dubai duty free even though it’s ‘ full on’ and always busy. The countless perfumeries and cosmetic ranges are daunting ! I’ve only once received excellent customer focussed service on a 2021 trip Heading for zone A - I wanted some new perfume and fancied LOUIIS VUITTON range. The guidance I received was extremely bad Not at all focussed on MY needs at all But 110% business needs & or commission needs! I was told they didn’t sell Louis Vuitton perfume?? They didn’t guide me to the LV store or mention where it was ! I was served by a female store assistant at first then she walked off.! Then along came a male. I had told both of them what I did NOT want I was quite specific Unisex/sweet/light ! I had a bad cold and couldn’t really smell anything. So I persisted with my Wants & DONT WANTS I ended up buying a £230 perfume ! When I got home and rid of my cold My new perfume was unboxed. It is unfortunately everything I did NOT want. Light. Unisex & a more masculine smell it’s sweet sweet light fragrance & was super expensive. I feel really upset Really Let down
