About Sun & Sand Sports
Sun & Sand Sports is one of the largest sports retailers in the Gulf. It sells sports footwear, apparel and equipment from major international brands through stores across the region and an online shop.
The retailer's range covers running, training, football, basketball, tennis, swimming, outdoor activities and more. Popular sports and athleisure brands are central to its offering, and stores stock products for men, women and children.
Footwear, especially sneakers, is a key category. Sports shoes are bought for performance and for everyday style, and new releases from major brands attract strong interest. Retailers like Sun & Sand Sports play an important role in bringing these products to the regional market.
Online shopping allows customers to browse the full range, check availability and order for home delivery. Omnichannel services, such as reserving items online and collecting them in store, connect digital and physical shopping.
The retailer supports sports and fitness in the community through events, sponsorships and partnerships with sports clubs and organisations. Such activities help build brand loyalty and connect with customers who are passionate about sport.
Sun & Sand Sports also operates brand stores for some of its partners, as well as multi-brand stores that bring together several labels.
Interest in fitness and active lifestyles has grown strongly in the UAE, supported by government initiatives such as the Dubai Fitness Challenge, which encourages residents to exercise daily for a month. Running, cycling, padel and gym culture have all grown in popularity.
Athleisure, the trend of wearing sports clothing in everyday life, has also expanded the market for sportswear beyond people who actively play sports.
The sports retail market is competitive, with brand-owned stores, department stores, hypermarkets and online retailers all selling sportswear.
Sun & Sand Sports' long presence and wide brand selection make it one of the leading sports retail names in the Gulf, and Startups UAE lists it among the UAE's retail and e-commerce brands.
