Qinwan, the Middle East brand renowned for its premium dates, has officially opened Qinwan Premium Dates & Café in Dubai International (DXB) Terminal 1. The venue is a partnership with Emirates Leisure Retail (ELR).
The café specialises in sustainably sourced dates (such as the Medjool, Sukari and Ajwa varieties), flatbreads, eggs Benedict and croissants, complemented by speciality teas and coffees. Signature treats are also available, including vanilla date ice cream.
The store also has a strong retail and gifting element offering featuring premium Qinwan dates.
Complimentary sampling is available throughout the opening week.
Billing it as a key addition to its fast-expanding portfolio, ELR said the venue offers travellers “a taste of Middle East tradition”.
The opening follows the success of two similar cafés in downtown Dubai & Dubai Festival City.
ELR commented, “At Emirates Leisure Retail, we believe in the power of strong partnerships with regional businesses to elevate the food & beverage scene in Dubai and beyond.
“Collaborations like this not only showcase the richness of our region but also create memorable moments for millions of guests passing through one of the world’s busiest airports.”
Dubai Airports VP, Concessions Management Alison Macdonald commented in a post on LinkedIn: “This is a beautiful addition to Dubai International Airport. The premium food and retail offering demonstrates our commitment to showcasing the best in authentic regional offerings.”
