Offers in Dubai this week

Dubai: this week's offers at a glance

Dubai is the UAE's largest and most diverse shopping market, from the historic districts of Deira and Bur the city to the towers of Dubai Marina, JLT and Business Bay and the family communities of Al Barsha, Al Warqa, Mirdif, Silicon Oasis and Jumeirah Village Circle. Every type of retailer competes here: global hypermarket brands, Union Coop and other co-operatives, neighbourhood supermarkets, electronics megastores and value shops. The result is a constant flow of catalogues, many of them limited to specific branches or areas.

The most searched offers in Dubai

When people in Dubai look for offers, the most searched are those of LuLu Hypermarket, Carrefour, Union Coop and Nesto, followed by Day To Day, Sharaf DG and Al Madina Hypermarket. Many type phrases such as “offers in Dubai today” or “supermarket offers”, or add the store and area name, because what they want to know is what applies near them right now. This page gathers that answer in one place: the catalogues valid today first, then next week's sneak peeks, with an area filter.

Beyond groceries, mobile phone and home appliance offers are in high demand, as are weekend deals and the seasonal campaigns of Ramadan, Eid and National Day. Every store has its own page with its offers today and next week, one click away from the cards above.

Markets and souks in Dubai

Waterfront Market (Deira Corniche): Replaced the old Deira Fish Market in 2017: fish, meat, fruit, vegetables, dates and spices, with cleaning stations that gut and fillet your fish. Open 24/7, with a live fish auction from 11 pm to 6 am.

Deira Gold and Spice Souks: The historic souks on the Deira side of the Creek, for gold, saffron, dried limes, frankincense and dried fruit.

Global Village: Seasonal open-air market of pavilions from dozens of countries, open from autumn to spring: good for food specialities and gifts.

Shopping calendar and best times in Dubai

Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF): its 32nd edition runs from 4 December 2026 to 17 January 2027 — 45 days of retail promotions, raffles and DSF Nights. Dubai Summer Surprises brings another round of sales in summer.

Weekday mornings are the calmest everywhere. Malls are at their busiest on Friday and Saturday evenings. During DSF, the opening weekend and the last days bring the deepest discounts, but also the biggest crowds.

Getting around to shop in Dubai

The Metro's Red and Green lines stop at or near several big shopping destinations — The Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Ibn Battuta, BurJuman and City Centre Deira — so a weekly shop without a car is realistic if you use delivery for heavy items. In most districts, street parking is paid at busy hours, while mall car parks give you time to load the boot. To reach the Waterfront Market from Bur the city, an abra or water taxi across the Creek is part of the fun.

Local tips for shopping in Dubai

• Go to the Waterfront Market early in the morning, right after the night auction, for the widest choice of fish — and have it cleaned on site.
• Many supermarkets in Dubai Marina, JLT and Barsha Heights are open 24 hours: shop the catalogue late at night to avoid queues.
• Metro-side stores (BurJuman, Union, Deira City Centre…) save parking time for a quick shop.

Where to shop in Dubai

In Deira, areas such as Al Muraqqabat, Al Rigga, Hor Al Anz, Port Saeed and Al Qusais are dense with supermarkets and hypermarkets. In Bur Dubai, Karama, Oud Metha, Al Mankhool and Al Raffa offer quick neighbourhood shopping, while Al Barsha, Dubai Marina, JLT, JVC, Motor City, Damac Hills and Silicon Oasis rely on community centres and mall hypermarkets. International City and Dubai Investment Park have their own value-focused stores. The Dubai Shopping Festival and Dubai Summer Surprises add extra rounds of promotions every year.

Catalogues valid this week

This week, catalogues from Al Maya, Al Safeer Hypermarket, Aswaaq, Carrefour, Day To Day, Dream Land, ECity and Emax and more are available in Dubai. Each one shows its validity dates and the branches listed by the retailer, and you can open it page by page in one click. Catalogues valid across the whole UAE appear here too, since they also apply to branches in the city.

A store being present in the city does not mean all its offers apply in every branch: some catalogues target a single area or store. Use the area filter above to keep only the catalogues that cover your area, or open your area page directly from the list.

Compare Dubai with neighbouring emirates

Many residents of Dubai also work or shop in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. Because retailers sometimes publish different leaflets for each emirate, an offer may be better next door in the same week. Open the other city's page from the 'Other emirates' list above and compare quickly, especially before big purchases such as appliances or the monthly stock-up. Remember that fuel and time are part of the calculation: a small saving is not always worth a long drive.

Reading catalogue prices

Prices shown to consumers in the UAE are expected to include the 5% VAT, so the price printed in the catalogue is usually what you pay at the till, unless an extra condition such as a loyalty card or a minimum spend is mentioned. To compare two offers fairly, look at the unit price per kg or per litre rather than the pack price, and watch for phrases such as 'while stocks last' and 'in selected branches'.
