Dubai Duty Free Surpasses AED4.1bn in Half‑Year Sales
Dubai Duty Free posted its strongest first-half performance to date, recording turnover of AED 4.118 billion, a 5.34 per cent increase over the same period in 2024. This figure eclipses the previous H1 record by AED 208.95 million, signalling robust recovery and sustained growth since the pandemic. The surge was underpinned by heightened passenger engagement during the Eid holiday and early summer travel season, with April, May and early June emerging as particularly strong months. This rise was reflected in higher spend per passenger, a metric now exceeding June 2024 levels, according to managing director Ramesh Cidambi. Perfumes topped the sales chart at AED 744.24 million, followed by beverages at AED 513.37 million, and cigarettes and tobacco at AED 439.91 million— the latter marking a 12.24 per cent uplift. Gold sales contributed AED 416.90 million, while confectionery achieved the most dramatic rise—a 62.70 per cent increase totalling AED 412.52 million. Cosmetics also grew modestly to AED 201.51 million, up 3.36 per cent. ADVERTISEMENT Growth was consistently distributed across the airport's terminals. Terminal 3 led with a 6.37 per cent gain, while Terminal 1 rose by 5.25 per cent. All major source regions posted positive results: Europe saw an increase of 16.89 per cent, the Middle East was up 8.15 per cent, Russia climbed 4.41 per cent and the Indian sub‑continent recorded a 1.02 per cent rise. Cidambi emphasised that the strong performance reflects not just rising traffic, but also increased engagement per traveller: 'The spend per passenger is likely to be better than last year June… a testament to our team's hard work and the strength of Dubai as a global travel hub'. Looking forward, Dubai Duty Free is preparing for an intensified second half, traditionally buoyed by back-to-school demand, year-end travel, and festive shopping occasions. Execution of its long-term strategy has also advanced: three Arrivals Shops have been renovated and the retailer is gearing up to unveil luxury boutiques from Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Cartier in Terminal 3's Concourse A. These upgrades aim to further enhance the high-end shopping experience and capitalise on the spending power of premium travellers. Founded in December 1983, Dubai Duty Free has evolved into one of the world's largest airport retailers, reaching a turnover of US $2.16 billion in 2023. Its top markets include India, Russia, China and the UK. The performance during the first half of 2025 demonstrates resilience and strategic diversification across categories, geographies and terminals. Luxury expansion and strategic product mix adjustments appear to be the cornerstone of the company's forward plan. By augmenting its high-end retail offerings and leveraging strong travel traffic, Dubai Duty Free is poised to maintain momentum through the remainder of the year. Cigarettes & tobacco, gold and perfumery remain core pillars, while confectionery's exceptional growth suggests broader category appeal among travellers. As passenger numbers climb and spending habits evolve, the retailer's ongoing investments in both infrastructure and branded boutiques seek to reinforce its leadership in travel retail. Economic analysts note that this escalate in passenger spend is not confined to Dubai—the broader travel retail sector across the Gulf region is experiencing parallel growth, aided by tourism rebounds and expanded flight connectivity. However, Dubai Duty Free's strategic emphasis on luxury positioning and global brand partnerships gives it a competitive edge within this landscape. While the company has not yet released final June passenger traffic figures, all indicators show an upward trend in both transit volume and per capita spend. With the expansion of Concourse A's luxury offerings and the completion of renovation works, expectations are that H2 will not only replicate H1 gains but potentially surpass them.

Let This Lebanese Wedding Inspire Your Dream Day
The natural beauty of Jounieh Bay played backdrop to this vibrant couple's multi-themed nuptials Dodie Nachabe and Marwan Azzam first crossed paths at the Beirut hospital they were both working in. 'I was a third year medical student and Marwan was a medical resident. Once we met, we were inseparable!' recalls Lebanese American Dodie. The couple was together for the three years before Marwan who has Palestinian, Lebanese and American heritage, whisked Dodie away to Denver, Colorado to pop the question. 'He planned a trip to Boulder, where I was born, and proposed on the top of a hill in the middle of nature, overlooking the entire city – just me and him.' She was so overwhelmed she didn't even look at the ring. Living on the other side of the world whilst planning a wedding in Lebanon didn't prove easy, so Dodie arrived one month ahead of their nuptials to 'put everything together,' she recalls. 'It was very hectic, but I enjoyed it a lot.' The couple chose Palais du Mzar which offers up gorgeous views of Jounieh Bay, where you can see the 'real beauty of Lebanon: steep lush green mountains melting into the Mediterranean Sea,' Dodie explains. Organising a wedding for 280 guests – 'which is relatively small for our culture,' Dodie laughs – is no easy feat. The bride-to-be leaned on her mum Naida to drive her from vendor to vendor to ensure every last detail was perfect, while Marwan's mum, Reem, 'helped with all the decision-making over the phone from Amman.' Enlisting some non-familial assistance, the couple hired Christiane and daughter Nicole from We Plan Events to ensure everything went seamlessly both before and on the day. Knowing that she didn't want a classic ballroom event, and unable to decide on just one theme, Dodie chose several. 'There was a maximalist bar, a romantic garden room, an edgy Cala lily room, dreamy hallways with lots of candles and white peonies – my favourite flower – and a hidden photo booth that played the video of our civil marriage in Las Vegas.' The ceremony took place outside to a backdrop of Jounieh Bay, with Dodie walking down the aisle at sunset, to the sound of Andrea Bocelli, with a Cala lily bouquet draped in pearls. While the vistas were staggering, all eyes were on the couple – and Dodie's gown by Karoline Lang. 'I wanted a timeless dress that was also modern and romantic. It took over 20 fittings to get the final look,' Dodie says, pairing it with silver Christian Louboutin Rosalie heels and a suite of diamond jewellery, a gift from her parents. The night unfolded with a sunset saxophonist, dinner served in the courtyard – fusing 'every type of international cuisine, from a traditional kebbe naye station with Arak shots to seafood and steak' – then a grand multiple-tiered cake cutting and dancing into the early hours to a mix of Arabic and English songs. Dodie says there's only one thing she would have done differently. 'I wish I'd arrived earlier to Lebanon to have more time to plan. I'd advise other brides to start planning as early as possible to enjoy the process and not feel rushed. Oh, and to really enjoy the moment on the big day – it goes by so fast!' All Imagery Supplied
