Send Flowers to Dubai from South Africa
Send Flowers to Dubai from South Africa
A large number of South Africans have moved to Dubai in recent years — for work, for the lifestyle, or simply to be near family who relocated first — which means a growing number of Capetonians and Joburgers are now sending flowers back the other way, to people they used to be able to visit in person. That distance is exactly why FlowersToDubai.com — legal name Al Ghadeer Flowers LLC — has stayed one family-run shop on Al Muteena Street, Deira, since 1994, instead of becoming a faceless marketplace. Interestingly, some of the flowers we arrange are grown in South Africa itself — our sourcing network includes South African growers alongside Kenya, Ethiopia, the Netherlands and others — so there's a real chance the stems you're sending home travelled a familiar route before they ever reached our workshop.
How to Order — Step by Step
- Start with a vibrant mixed seasonal arrangement — a colourful blend rather than a single flower type, and one of our most popular same-day-eligible choices; every product page states clearly whether it qualifies for same-day delivery.
- Pay with what works for you — South African Reserve Bank foreign exchange rules and card issuer holds on international e-commerce transactions can occasionally trip up a first attempt. We accept Visa/Mastercard/Maestro, PayPal, and Tabby (buy now, pay later), so if one method stalls, another usually goes straight through.
- Don't worry about giving a perfect address — Dubai doesn't use postal codes the way South African suburbs use them. If what you've been given is vague, we WhatsApp the recipient directly for their Google Maps pin so the delivery still finds them.
- Share the recipient's phone number — UAE couriers call or WhatsApp before arriving, so this step is required, not optional, even if the flowers are meant to be a surprise.
- Choose your delivery date and dictate a message — today, tomorrow, or a future date such as a birthday; we hand-write the card exactly as you send it.
- Look out for confirmation — you'll receive order confirmation by email or WhatsApp right after checkout.
- Call or WhatsApp us if anything's unclear — +971 50 586 1001 rings our actual Deira shop, not an outsourced support desk.

Dubai runs 2 hours ahead of South African Standard Time year-round, so orders placed during a normal South African working day comfortably clear the 8PM Dubai cutoff. Offices around Business Bay and homes in Al Barsha both fall within our regular same-day delivery zone when the order is in before the cutoff.
Budget Guide
Checkout displays pricing in South African Rand alongside 20 other currencies, so you know the real cost before your bank applies its own conversion fee.
