Dubai authorities have increased inspections across markets in Dubai to monitor prices and protect consumer rights.

The inspections ensure that the prices of livestock and salon services are not unfairly increased.

Ahmad Al Zaabi, the Director of the Consumer Protection in Dubai Economy, reiterated that “no price manipulation or attempts to exploit the [Eid Al Adha] situation will be tolerated.”

Dubai residents can report price hikes via the Dubai Consumer App, by calling 600545555, or through the consumerrights.ae website.
