Carrefour

Opening at Dubai International Airport

New Store Opening

We just opened our newest #Carrefour store in #Dubai International Airport’s iconic Terminal 3. Carrefour has always been a popular destination for not only residents, but visitors too, both tourists and business travelers. As Dubai continues to welcome back more flying passengers, we are glad to now be one of the first to greet and serve them when they arrive. Passengers can enjoy the convenience of over 3,000 different grocery items including delicious ready-to-eat meals, snacks, beverages and essential items as they return home from a trip or start their holiday. To offer a seamless shopping experience, the store also provides our Scan&Go and Self-Checkout features. I am proud of the great work and beautiful execution of my colleagues and extend my gratitude to the trust placed by Dubai Airports to serve their travelers. Majid Al Futtaim #GreatMoments #DXB
