Pork Shop in Spinneys |
Yes! Pork products are available for non-Muslims, in the entire UAE but Sharjah. The Emirates has been always respectful to other cultures and religions that select supermarkets are allowed to have dedicated “Pork Sections: For Non-Muslims”. You can also find a number of pork-serving restaurants within hotels. But neither fastfood nor restaurant, outside hotels, has pork on their menus.
Here are some popular Supermarkets across the UAE (except Sharjah) that sell pork products:
- Spinneys
- Al Maya
- Westzone
- De Belchoir
- Philippine Supermarket
- Choitram
Carrefour – one of the most popular, if not the most popular supermarket in the country doesn’t sell pork.
A friendly reminder: Be responsible not to do your barbeque in parks where many Muslims are gathered. Show respect that you don’t let them smell what you’re grilling.
