📅 2026-03-05 ⏱ 7 min read 📍 GiftAMango.com Blog

The UAE is home to over 3.4 million Indian expatriates, and the UK to over 1.7 million. Every mango season (February to June), thousands of these NRIs search for a way to send authentic Hapus mangoes to their families back home in India.

This guide is for you — whether you're in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, London, Manchester, Birmingham, or Leicester.

Key Fact: GiftAMango.com accepts AED and GBP payments internationally. You pay from the UAE or UK — we source and deliver GI-tagged Ratnagiri Alphonso mangoes inside India. No customs, no international fruit shipping.

Sending Mango Gifts from UAE / Dubai to India

The UAE has some of the highest concentrations of Indian expats in the world. Most are from Kerala, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu — states where Alphonso mango culture runs deep.

If you're in Dubai and want to gift Hapus mangoes to your parents in Mumbai, siblings in Pune, or relatives in Kerala, here's what you need to know:

Payment: Pay in AED using any UAE-issued credit or debit card
Approximate cost: From AED 100 per dozen GI-tagged Ratnagiri Alphonso mangoes
Delivery in India: 24-48 hours in metros, 2-4 working days pan-India
No export/import: Mangoes are sourced and delivered within India only

Sending Mango Gifts from UK to India

British-Indians, many of whom trace roots to Gujarat, Punjab, and Maharashtra, have long cherished the Alphonso mango as a cultural touchstone. Sending a box of Hapus to parents or grandparents in India from London is a deeply meaningful gesture.

Payment: Pay in GBP using any UK bank card
Approximate cost: From GBP 22 per dozen Ratnagiri Alphonso mangoes
Delivery: 2-4 working days across India from order placement

Why GI-Tagged Mangoes Are Worth It

Natural sweetness of Brix 18-22° — no artificial sweeteners
Zero calcium carbide used — ethically and naturally ripened
Rich saffron colour, creamy texture, unmistakable Hapus aroma
FSSAI certified (10020022011783) and APEDA registered
