Dubai has a knack for bringing in the coolest global brands, but if you’re on the hunt for Milaf Cola, the buzzworthy fizzy drink from Saudi Arabia everyone’s raving about online, here’s the tea: it’s not in the UAE just yet. Yep, unfortunately, you’ve read that right.
Milaf Cola, the trendy drink popping up on social feeds with its aesthetic packaging and “made-for-the-gram” vibes, has fans drooling in KSA. But if you’re here in the UAE hoping to crack one open on a sunny rooftop, you might be waiting a while. It hasn’t hit the shelves in our beloved country just yet. Sad times.
So, why the hype? Milaf Cola combines the nutritional richness of dates—yes, the sweet fruit you know and love—with the refreshing appeal of a soft drink. Developed by Thurath Al-Madina, a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, it’s crafted from premium Saudi Arabian dates, sticking to the highest international food safety and quality standards.
But it’s not just about what’s inside the can. Milaf Cola aligns with the Kingdom’s eco-conscious values, embracing sustainable production practices while championing locally sourced goods. First unveiled at the Riyadh Date Festival, it wowed visitors with its unique flavour and health-first formula. It’s giving nutrition, it’s giving refreshment, it’s giving cultural pride. But for Dubai? It’s not giving access. Yet.
We reached out to local distributors (because of investigative journalism, duh). While a few hinted at possible future imports, there’s no solid timeline for when we’ll be sipping Milaf Cola by the beach. You’ll have to keep daydreaming—or maybe smuggle some in your suitcase on your next trip abroad.
Of course, this is Dubai, where anything is possible. New launches drop here faster than a TikTok trend. So, keep your eyes peeled and your Insta feed refreshed. Until then, stay hydrated, fam.
