Cryptocurrency payments have become available at Dubai Duty Free stores in Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Al Maktoum Airport (AMIA). Customers can pay for purchases both at points of sale and for online orders. This is a step towards integrating cryptocurrency into everyday services in Dubai. Dubai Duty Free has become the first aviation retailer in the Middle East to implement such an option. Cryptocurrency can be used to pay not only for goods but also for Emirates airline tickets. Before confirming the payment, it is necessary to check the available assets, the total amount, fees, and refund conditions, which may vary depending on the service. This development highlights the growing infrastructure for virtual assets in the UAE and strengthens Dubai's position as a hub for cryptocurrency payments. Retail in airports is an important segment for payment innovations, contributing to the practical use of digital assets.
