Sending flowers or a gift from the UK to someone in Dubai is simpler and faster than most people expect. There is no international courier: you order online, and we prepare and hand-deliver your gift locally in Dubai, often the same day. Here is exactly how it works, including the cut-off time where you live.
You order online, we deliver locally
Your gift is made fresh in Dubai and hand-delivered by our local team, so there is no shipping time, no customs and no import fees. You pay in UAE dirhams (AED), and the payment options available today are shown at checkout.
Same-day cut-off from the UK
Dubai is 4 hours ahead of the UK in winter (GMT) and 3 hours ahead in summer (BST). Our same-day cut-off is 8 PM Dubai time, which is:
| Where you are | Order by (your local time) |
|---|---|
| UK winter (GMT) | 4 PM |
| UK summer (BST) | 5 PM |
That means an order placed after lunch in London, Manchester or Edinburgh can still be delivered in Dubai the same evening. There is a live countdown on our British delivery page.
