Dubai, UAE – As the summer sun climbs higher, so does the anticipation for one of the most loved fruits in the region — the mango. This week marks the official start of mango season in Dubai, and local markets are already bursting with golden, aromatic mangoes, with prices starting as low as Dh10 per kilogram.
A Seasonal Delight Returns
Whether you’re strolling through Union Coop, LuLu Hypermarket, or a local Deira fruit stall, the arrival of mangoes signals joy, tradition, and tropical flavor. Shoppers are welcomed by fresh displays of varieties such as Sindhri, Chaunsa, and Alphonso, with shipments coming in from Pakistan, India, and Egypt.
For many residents, mangoes are more than just a fruit — they’re a nostalgic reminder of summer vacations, family feasts, and traditional desserts like mango lassi, milkshakes, and aam ras.
Why Are Prices Starting Low This Year?
According to vendors, the early-season pricing is driven by a strong initial supply from Pakistan and India. Wholesale importers at Al Aweer Fruit Market report that Sindhri mangoes from Pakistan — one of the earliest varieties — have entered Dubai in high volume, helping keep prices competitive.
“This year’s Sindhri crop is excellent in quality,” said a vendor at Karama market. “Sweet, large-sized, and perfect for export — that’s why prices start at just Dh10 per kg for early buyers.”

Rising Demand in the Gulf

With Dubai serving as a re-export hub, many of these mangoes will make their way across the region in the coming weeks.
