TL;DR
In Dubai, freebies usually depend more on the specific store and even the sales associate than on the shopper’s nationality. Travelers say multi-brand beauty counters in Mall of the Emirates and Harvey Nichols tend to be more generous with samples and gifts than standalone boutiques.
A recent shopper noted that in Dubai luxury stores, samples and gifts depend heavily on the individual shop and even the sales associate: one boutique may offer extras while another may not.
For better freebies, travelers recommend multi-brand stores in Mall of the Emirates, where beauty and fragrance purchases often come with more minis and gift-with-purchase items than single-brand boutiques.
One specific place mentioned is Harvey Nichols at Mall of the Emirates, where shoppers say staff can be especially generous with samples and extras.
