Australia is one of the easiest places to send a gift to Dubai from, because your day runs ahead of Dubai’s. When it is evening in Sydney or Melbourne, it is still afternoon in Dubai, so you can order after work and your flowers, cake or chocolates are hand-delivered in Dubai that same Dubai day. No shipping, no customs, no biosecurity forms.

Frequently asked questions
Can I order after work in Sydney and still get same-day delivery in Dubai?
Yes. Sydney is 7 hours ahead of Dubai in the Australian summer and 6 hours ahead in winter, so an order you place in your evening reaches Dubai while it is still afternoon there and can be delivered that Dubai day.
Which day will the gift arrive?
Because Australia is ahead, the delivery date is the date in Dubai, which can be the day before your local date if you order early in the morning. Choose the exact Dubai delivery date at checkout.
Do you ship gifts from Australia to Dubai?
No shipping is involved. We prepare your gift locally in Dubai and hand-deliver it, so there are no customs or biosecurity delays.
How do I pay from abroad?
Prices are in UAE dirhams (AED) and the payment options available today are shown at checkout. If you are ordering from abroad and need help with payment, email info@giftalarab.com and we will help you complete your order.
