A 30g tin of genuine Beluga caviar in Dubai costs between AED 387 and AED 430. A supermarket substitute labelled “caviar” costs AED 35. Both sit in the same fridge section. Only one is worth your money—and this guide explains exactly why, what to look for, and where to order the real thing today.
The question we hear most from first-time buyers isn’t which caviar to order—it’s whether caviar in Dubai is actually worth the price at all. After 25 years supplying hotels, restaurants, and private clients across the UAE, we’ve seen every version of this question. The honest answer: genuine caviar is absolutely worth it — but only if you’re buying the right product from a source you can verify.
This guide breaks down caviar prices in the UAE with real AED figures, explains what separates a AED 200 tin from a AED 2,000 tin, and tells you exactly what to order depending on your occasion, budget, and taste preference.
Caviar is salt-cured sturgeon roe. That’s it. But behind that simplicity is a supply chain that justifies every dirham you spend — or exposes why cheap alternatives are a false economy.
A female beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) takes 18 to 25 years to reach reproductive maturity. The eggs are harvested once, processed within hours, hand-graded for size and color consistency, packed under strict temperature control, and shipped under CITES documentation—the international wildlife trade certification that makes legal sturgeon caviar traceable from farm to tin.
When you buy CITES-certified sturgeon caviar in Dubai, the price reflects that entire chain: the decades of aquaculture investment, cold-chain logistics, import compliance, and the irreplaceable rarity of genuine Beluga or Osetra eggs.
What the AED 35 tub does not reflect: it’s almost certainly lumpfish roe, dyed black, and salted heavily to mask a flat flavor profile. Not worth your occasion.

Here’s what genuine sturgeon caviar costs in the UAE right now, based on our live product prices in May 2026. These are real, transparent AED figures — no “call for pricing” opacity.

| Albino Almas | AED 1,692 | AED 2,820 | AED 7,050 | Ultra-luxury gifting, VIP occasions |

The single best way to evaluate caviar value is price per gram—not tin price. Dubai buyers often compare a 30g Beluga tin at AED 387 against a 125g Osetra tin at AED 694 and assume the larger tin is the better deal. It’s not always that simple.
For a first-time buyer in Dubai, the Royal Baerii or Osetra delivers exceptional flavor at around AED 5–6 per gram—the best entry point into genuine sturgeon caviar. For a special occasion or impressive corporate gift, the Royal Beluga Huso Huso is the most recognizable prestige choice in the UAE market.
The value of caviar in Dubai depends entirely on what you’re using it for. Here’s an honest assessment for each scenario we encounter regularly.
A 50g tin of Royal Beluga at AED 645—presented in a gift box—is the single most memorable luxury gift you can send in the UAE. Nothing else at that price point comes close for senior clients, VIP guests, or business partners. The caviar gift sets include premium packaging and can be delivered same-day across Dubai.
✓ Absolutely Worth It
A 125g tin of Caviar Imperial (AED 853) serves 6–8 guests as a starter—that’s under AED 120 per person for a course that no restaurant in Dubai delivers to the table with this provenance. Paired with blinis, crème fraîche, and a chilled glass of champagne, it’s transformative entertaining.
✓ Worth It — Better Value Than a Restaurant
A 30g tin of Royal Baerii at AED 157—that’s two generous servings. More than enough to understand why connoisseurs seek this out. Starting with Baerii or Osetra before moving to Beluga is the path most caviar lovers in Dubai follow.
✓ Worth It — The Smart Entry Point
If a seller cannot provide a CITES certificate, cannot name the sturgeon species, or is selling “caviar” at dramatically below-market prices—you are buying an imitation product. Lumpfish roe, dyed capelin, or farmed fish eggs labeled as caviar are legal to sell but offer none of the flavor complexity or provenance of genuine sturgeon caviar. This scenario: not worth it.
✗ Not Worth It — Verify Before You Buy
Dubai’s caviar market has grown significantly since 2020. Not every seller offers the same standard. When you order online or in-store, verify these five things before committing:
Every tin of genuine sturgeon caviar sold legally in the UAE must come with traceable CITES documentation. Ask for it. If a seller hesitates, that’s your answer.
The tin must name the species: Huso huso (Beluga), Acipenser gueldenstaedtii (Osetra/Ocietra), and Acipenser baerii (Siberian Baerii). Generic labels like “sturgeon caviar” without species identification are a red flag.
Caviar must stay between -2°C and +4°C from tin to table. If a supplier delivers in a standard bag without a dedicated chiller van or insulated cold packaging, the product’s quality is compromised before you open it. We use dedicated temperature-controlled vehicles for every delivery across Dubai and the UAE.
Fresh caviar has a short shelf life—typically 4–6 weeks once opened and 12–18 months sealed when properly stored. A reputable seller will always display this. Avoid tins with no date information.
Sourcing caviar in Dubai since 2001, Caviar Heritage (Wild North Fish General Trading LLC) has supplied the UAE’s most prestigious hospitality operators. Over 5,000 clients. 500+ restaurant and catering partners. That history is the most reliable signal of consistent quality.
The UAE caviar market offers more variety than most buyers realize. Here’s how to match the type to your budget and the occasion.
Royal Baerii (30g, AED 157) — Siberian sturgeon caviar with a clean, buttery flavor. Smaller eggs with a satisfying pop. The ideal starting point if you’re buying caviar in Dubai for the first time or serving as part of a larger spread. Pairs perfectly with blinis and chilled Champagne.
Osetra / Ocietra or Caviar Imperial (50g, AED 278–308)—Medium-sized golden-brown eggs with a complex, nutty flavor profile. This is the range where most serious caviar buyers in the UAE settle. A 50g tin is a meaningful serving for two or a refined garnish for a full dinner party course.
Royal Beluga Huso Huso or Heritage Gold (50g, AED 645–850)—The caviar that defines fine dining globally. Large, lustrous eggs with a silky texture and the long, oceanic finish that has made Beluga the world’s most coveted luxury food. If you’re sending a caviar gift in Dubai, this is the tier that leaves a lasting impression.
Albino Almas Caviar (30g from AED 1,692) — Harvested from albino Beluga sturgeon, Almas is the rarest caviar available on the UAE market. Its pale golden color and extraordinarily delicate, creamy flavor are genuinely unlike anything else. If you’re asking whether this is worth the price—for the right occasion, there is nothing comparable.

Genuine CITES-certified Iranian caviar from licensed sources is legally importable under UAE wildlife trade regulations. However, the volume of truly traceable Iranian wild caviar in the UAE market is extremely limited. Most “Iranian” caviar sold informally is either uncertified or misrepresented. At Caviar Heritage, our Beluga and Persian caviar products carry full CITES documentation. See our Huso Huso Caviar Beluga for a genuine, certified option.
Start with a 30g or 50g tin of Royal Baerii or Osetra (Ocietra). Both offer genuine Siberian or Caspian sturgeon flavor at an accessible price point—under AED 280 for a 50g tin. Once you understand the flavor profile, moving to Beluga or Heritage Gold is the natural progression.
As a standalone tasting: 10–15g per person. As an appetizer with accompaniments: 20–30 g per person. For a luxurious main-course garnish or sharing platter, 50g serves 3–4 comfortably. Our complete serving guide covers this in detail.
