Dubai Duty Free will mark four decades of service on Wednesday 20th December.

Dubai Duty Free (DDF) is continuing to build excitement with further promotional activity ahead of its 40^th anniversary on Wednesday 20^th December.

Travellers have a chance to partake in the Dubai Duty Free 40^th Anniversary ‘Shop & Win Gold’ promotion, ‘Dubai Duty Free 40^th Anniversary Surprise’ and ‘The Dubai Duty Free Shopping List’ to win Dhs40,000/$10,892 worth of DDF gift cards across the respective competitions, while a 25% discount is being offered on a range of products on the day of the anniversary itself.

The Dubai Duty Free 40^th Anniversary Surprise permits those spending Dhs40 to join the promotion online (1-20 December) to win a Dhs40,000 Dubai Duty Free gift card (tickets limited to 1,000 per series).

The ‘Dubai Duty Free Shopping List’ radio promotion (5 December – 20 December) puts up for grabs a Dhs40,000 Dubai Duty Free gift card.

Airing across four radio shows on Dubai 92 FM, each show discusses the Dubai Duty Free Shopping List and will put one item on the list or imaginary shopping cart each day.

Listeners need to note the items listed from each show and call the next day on the ‘Breakfast Show’ and name all four listed in the DDF Shopping List of the previous day to be included in the final draw to win the grand prize.

Nine shortlisted listeners will be invited to the live draw at The Irish Village on 20 December, where the sole winner of Dhs40,000 worth of Dubai Duty Free gift cards will be announced.

Dubai Duty Free staff can also enter by purchasing a ticket for Dhs40 for a chance to win Dhs40,000 in cash. Only 1,000 tickets are available.

Elsewhere, on the anniversary day of 20 December, Dubai Duty Free will run a pre-Christmas treat of a 25% discount on a wide range of products, including tickets for its world famous Dubai Duty Free ‘Millennium Millionaire’ and ‘Finest Surprise’ promotions.

The 25% discount promotion applies to major categories including perfumes, cosmetics, liquor, watches, jewellery, confectionery and leather goods, with the exception of certain categories such as gold, electronics, and select fashion brands. It is open both and online.

Dubai Duty Free Executive Vice Chairman & CEO Colm McLoughlin said: “We are thrilled to bring these exciting promotions to celebrate our milestone 40th anniversary. We see this as our way of saying thank you to our customers, whether in person or online, for their continuous support to Dubai Duty Free for four decades.

“I think the big discount day on 20th December is going to create a fantastic atmosphere at Dubai Duty Free for the entire 24 hours, which will be enjoyed by our staff and customers.”
