What is Dubai’s Postal Code?

When planning a trip to Dubai, moving there, or even ordering something online, one simple yet puzzling question often arises: What is the postal code for Dubai? While the answer may surprise you, it’s important to understand how Dubai’s postal code system works to avoid delivery delays and confusion.

If you're filling out an online form that requires a postal or ZIP code, here’s what you can do:
  • Use "00000" or "N/A" in the postal code field if allowed.
  • Some websites accept "00000" as a placeholder to proceed with shipping or registration.
  • Always include the P.O. Box number of the recipient, if known.

Dubai’s unique mail system may take a bit of getting used to, especially for those coming from countries where ZIP codes are the norm. However, once you understand the importance of P.O. Boxes and how to fill out address fields, sending and receiving mail in Dubai is simple and reliable.


Whether you’re a visitor, expat, or doing business, just remember: P.O. Box is king in Dubai!
