Now You Can Get It In Dubai
Visitors and residents to the UAE will soon be able to take home an exciting memento of Dubai that is representative of the visionary leadership of the emirate.

Dubai's first souvenir gold coin 'Visions of Dubai' will be available from September.


The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) announced that it has appointed Jumeirah Retail, part of Jumeirah Group, the Dubai-based luxury hotel and hospitality management company, and Dubai Duty Free (DDF) as the authorised distributors for the gold coin souvenir.

Series

Produced in Dubai under the guidance of DMCC, the first coin in the series features the image of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on one side while Burj Al Arab is engraved on the other.

Other coins in the series will feature landmark images of Dubai that also reflect the spirit and identity of the emirate.

"The 'Visions of Dubai' series of gold coins will serve as high-value tokens that visitors can purchase and take home as mementos and gifts," said Colin Griffith, Executive Director for Gold and Precious Metals, DMCC.

Marcel Hendricks, General Manager of Jumeirah Retail, said: "We are very proud to have been appointed as authorised distributors of the coins in Burj Al Arab's dedicated Al Dukan retail store."

Colm McLoughlin, Managing Director, DDF, said: "The demand for gold among passengers travelling through Dubai International Airport is greater than ever. In the first half of 2007, sales in the gold category at DDF grew by 35 per cent. With such a strong demand, I am sure that the 'Visions of Dubai' series ... will prove to be a great success."
