Consumers in Dubai are now better protected under Federal Decree No. 5 of 2023, which came into force in October 2023, enhancing consumer rights and protections. Violating the consumer protection law can result in penalties of up to Dh2 million in fines and up to two years of imprisonment. This decree allows consumers to seek compensation for any damages caused by faulty goods or services. If a product or service is found defective, suppliers are required to provide a repair, replacement, or refund. The law also mandates suppliers to display prices clearly, avoid misleading advertisements, and uphold warranties.
If consumers face issues like being charged full price despite advertised discounts or receiving defective products, they can easily file complaints through the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). The complaint process is straightforward and can be completed by following a few steps on the Consumer Rights website.
