Dubai Duty Free is one of the world's largest airside shopping zones. Sealed STEBs are fine on connecting Emirates flights but may need to be checked if connecting via a US or Australian re-screening.
FAQs
What's the liquid rule at Dubai Terminal 3?
The standard 100ml-container rule applies. Each liquid, gel or paste must be in a container of 100ml or smaller, all fitting inside a single 1-litre clear plastic bag.
Can I take a sealed Dubai Duty Free bottle onto a connecting US flight?
Only if you don't re-clear security. Most Emirates US routes are direct. If you connect onward in the US after landing, you'll have to bin or check the bottle.
Are CBD products allowed at DXB T3?
No. The UAE bans CBD in any form. Don't transit with CBD oils or gummies even if you're not leaving the airport.
