Where to Buy Designer Kaftans Across the GCC

You can shop Shaira Fashions, at our boutiques in The Dubai Mall, Village Mall in Jumeirah, Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi and Al Hazm Mall in Doha. Everywhere else in the Gulf, from Riyadh and Jeddah to Kuwait City, Muscat and Manama, our online store brings the full collection to your door in around three days.

A kaftan is something you fall for in person: the weight of velvet in your hands, the way embroidery catches the light, the hem settling just above the floor. But the women we dress live all across the Gulf. A winter wedding in Riyadh, an Eid lunch in Kuwait or National Day in Doha won't wait for a trip to Dubai, so we come to you, in store and online.

Here's where to find us, city by city, and the pieces we're reaching for this season.

Shaira Across the GCC at a Glance

Where Are Shaira's Boutiques?

Shaira has four boutiques: two in Dubai, one in Abu Dhabi and one in Doha. Each carries our kaftans, jalabiyas and occasionwear, with a team ready to help with fit and styling.

Step inside and the collection comes alive in a way a screen can't quite capture. Try a cape kaftan with the heels you'll wear on the night, hold emerald against ivory in natural light, and let our team find the length that's just right.

The Dubai Mall, Dubai

Find us on the First Floor next to Galeries Lafayette, in the heart of Downtown Dubai. We're open until 11 PM, so it's an easy stop after an evening by the fountains.

Visiting from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman or Bahrain?

Many of our clients pair a fitting with a weekend in Dubai or Doha, especially in the weeks before Eid or a family wedding. Send us a WhatsApp on +971 56 171 3557 before you travel and we'll tell you which boutique has your piece in your size. Bring your heels and a photo of the invitation, and leave the rest to us.

Where to Buy Designer Kaftans in Your City

Every city in the Gulf dresses to its own rhythm. Here's how to shop Shaira wherever you are, and what we'd wear there.

Dubai & Abu Dhabi

Visit us at The Dubai Mall, Village Mall or Marina Mall, or order online for free delivery within 48 hours. When National Day arrives on 2 December, the winter season of weddings and family dinners begins, and with it our velvet and embellished kaftans.

Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah & Fujairah

Our Dubai boutiques are a short drive away, and online orders arrive free within 48 hours. As evenings cool from December, reach for long sleeves and fluid crepe.

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Shop Shaira online with delivery to Riyadh in around three days, or plan a fitting on your next trip to Dubai. Winter is Riyadh's season, with weddings, Riyadh Season nights and desert air that turns crisp after dark. It's made for our velvet kaftans, so order a week ahead of the big night.

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Jeddah's warmth calls for lightness. Our organza and georgette jalabiyas with tonal embroidery are made for Ramadan gatherings by the Red Sea, and they reach Jeddah in around three days.

Dammam & Khobar, Saudi Arabia

Fluid crepe kaftans hold their line in the Eastern Province's coastal humidity and still feel right on cool winter nights. Delivery takes around three days.

Buraydah, Saudi Arabia

Full coverage and deep, rich colour (navy, emerald, burgundy) feel at home at Qassim gatherings, and long sleeves are welcome through the cold months. Delivery takes around three days.

Abha, Saudi Arabia

Up in the Asir mountains, Abha's cool air is a gift for anyone who loves velvet. Choose a cape kaftan for evenings when the temperature drops, delivered in around three days.

Doha, Qatar

Muscat, Oman

Order online for delivery in around three days. From National Day on 20 November through the mild months to March, embroidered organza jalabiyas suit Muscat's daytime visits, and an embellished kaftan takes care of the weddings.

Manama, Bahrain

The Edit: Six Pieces We Love This Season

Six pieces that travel beautifully, each chosen with a city or an occasion in mind. Find them online, or ask for them in our boutiques.

1. Ayah Velvet Kaftan | Navy Blue

For Winter Evenings in Riyadh, Buraydah & Abha

Silk velvet in deep navy, with silver sequins placed exactly where the light will find them. It's warm enough for a crisp desert night and quietly formal, so it never competes with the bride.

Finish with silver earrings, a structured clutch and a wide-shouldered coat for the walk from the car.

2. MG 81 Moroccan Kaftan | Purple

For Weddings in Kuwait & Doha

A two-piece Moroccan set in crepe: a beaded, sequinned cape over a fluid dress. Wear the full set for the ceremony, then slip off the cape as the evening softens.

Earrings only. Let the beadwork do the talking.

3. Josephine-A Jalabiya | Jade Green Gold

For Eid Gatherings Across the GCC

Georgette with metallic laser-cut appliqué and its own belt. Wear it loose for a long day of family visits, then cinch it for dinner. Jade and gold is festive in daylight and glowing by lamplight.

Gold jewellery and a soft heel will carry you from morning to night.

4. Monarch-D Jalabiya | Ivory

For Daytime Visits & Jeddah's Warmer Days

Ivory organza scattered with olive-toned floral sequins. It's light as air and fully covered, our answer to humid days in Jeddah, Khobar and Doha.

Pearls, a pale clutch and a chiffon hijab keep it fresh.

5. 7707 Ivory Eid Kaftan

For Ramadan Evenings & Iftar Invitations

Soft crepe with a gently elasticated waist and a play of multicolour geometric sequins. It's comfortable from iftar through taraweeh, with shape that needs no belt.

Pick one colour from the embroidery and echo it in your hijab or clutch.

6. MG 104 Kaftan | Beige

For National Day Celebrations & Formal Dinners

A cape-sleeved kaftan with sequin and feather embroidery that moves as you do. It's made for the December run of National Days in the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar, and for Kuwait's in February.

With sleeves this beautiful, skip the bracelets and keep the neckline clean.

How Do I Choose My Kaftan Size Online?

Choose your size by your bust measurement, then check shoulder width and length in the heels you'll wear. Shaira kaftans come in sizes S to XXL, and most pieces can be adjusted before they're made.

In the boutique, our team fits you in minutes. At home, a tape measure and five minutes do the same job:

1. Bust: measure at the fullest point. This decides your size, because a kaftan should skim, never pull.

2. Shoulders: measure edge to edge. Cape and dropped-shoulder styles are forgiving; tailored shoulders are not.

3. Length: measure from shoulder to floor in your heels. The hem should just kiss the floor.

4. Between sizes? Go up. A little ease is easy to belt; a snug bust can't be let out.

Not sure? Tap "Enquire for Customization" on any product page or message us on WhatsApp at +971 58 153 8877, and we'll tailor the length or sleeves before your piece is made. Custom pieces are made just for you, so they're final sale.

Exchanges

Online orders can be exchanged within 7 days of delivery, unworn and with tags attached. Sale and custom pieces are final, and boutique purchases follow in-store policy.

Conclusion

Wherever you are in the Gulf, there's a way to find your kaftan. In Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha, our boutiques invite you to touch the fabric, try the length and take your time. From Riyadh to Kuwait City, Muscat to Manama, our online store brings the same collection to your door in around three days.

Explore our kaftans and jalabiyas, made for the Gulf's own calendar, from winter weddings and National Days to Ramadan and Eid, and made to be worn season after season.
