Dubai Duty Free
In Terminal 3, other shops sell products in addition to the above brands. These shops are duty free, and you can buy goods of various brands at lower prices there.
When I got off the plane, I was quite tired and didn’t feel like shopping, but when I entered the airport, I forgot about the fatigue when I saw the Duty Free shops and visited all of them to prepare a complete report.
Duty free shops were scattered throughout the airport and sold perfumes, cosmetics, electronics, alcoholic beverages, tobacco, jewellery, sports equipment, books, and watches.
I saw many brand products during my visit to Duty-Free, and I have included some of them below:
| Dior | Estee | Dalmore |
| Gucci | Jomalone | Themacallan-home |
| TomFord | Apple | Iqos |
| Givenchy | Samsung | Tumi |
| Bvlgari | louisXIII | ddfTennis |
I have visited all duty free shops in terminal 3 and found their location for you and listed below:
- Concourse C
- Concourse A- Train Connections
- Concourse B
- Arrivals
- Depatures
Since Duty-Free shops are scattered throughout all 3 airport terminals, you may not have enough time to visit all of Them. In this case, you can buy your products online and deliver them in person before your flight.

What to buy in Dubai Airport?
Buying souvenirs from the airport is one of my favourite things. Dubai souvenirs are my first suggestion to you. Dates, Arabic sweets and spices are some of the best things you can buy at the airport, but if you don’t like them, don’t worry because below are some other things that, in my experience, most travellers buy at Dubai Airport.
Alcohol
One of the most popular things that tourists buy when they arrive at Dubai Airport is alcoholic beverages. Duty-free shops sell alcoholic drinks at lower prices than hotels.
