Earlier this year, the iconic brand opened its first pop-up at the world's busiest international airport and proved to be so popular that it had to extend its stay at Terminal 3 until the Eid Al Fitr break.
And now, ahead of the Eid Al Adha holidays, Dubai's most famous export will be available for tourists once again.
Offering residents and tourists a chance to buy a last-minute bar as a souvenir (or to munch on the plane), the exclusive stand is not one to be missed.
In a post on Instagram, FIX said: 'When our Dubai Duty Free pop-up wrapped up in April, the DMs rolled in.
'The heartbreak, the love, we felt all of it! So we didn't waste a second. From the moment we closed, we got to work, doing everything we could to bring it back.
'Then the agents suited up. The bars were packed. The mission was clear. We're coming back to Dubai Duty Free on May 15, with a few changes in the mix.'
Kitted out with the classic dessert bars, including the world-famous Catch Me If You Pecan, Can't get Knafeh of it and Pick up a Pretzel, the pop-up is a must-visit before boarding — just be ready to join the queue.
The popular treat is normally only available at 2pm and 5pm every day on Deliveroo in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, so it's an opportunity to grab a bar in person.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that a whopping Dhs1 million is spent on the pistachio-kunfa-filled treat every day at DXB – including knock-offs of the original.
In January 2025, DXB was crowned the world's busiest international airport (again), after it recorded 60.2 million seats in 2024.

Looking at data from the entirety of 2024, aviation consultancy OAG looked at the seat and airline capacity for both domestic and international flights for airports around the globe.
For further context, DXB's closest challenger for the top spot was London Heathrow which had 48.3 million international seats last year.

When is the next UAE public holiday: What you need to know
The UAE Cabinet announced at the start of the year that there will be at least 12 public holidays in 2025, depending on official moon sightings. We have at least four more days off to look forward to this year, but you may be wondering: 'When is the next public holiday in the UAE?' Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming public holidays left in 2025. When is the next UAE public holiday 2025? Credit: Supplied Prophet Muhammad's Birthday (PBUH) will be the next public holiday in the UAE. The Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) birthday, celebrated during Rabi Al-Awwal – the third month of the Islamic calendar – is widely recognised across many Islamic nations, including those in the Gulf region. These countries, including the UAE, typically mark the day with a national holiday. If Rabi' Al-Awwal begins on Monday August 25, then the Prophet Muhammad's birthday (PBUH) should fall on Friday September 5. This would give Dubai residents a three-day long weekend when combined with Saturday and Sunday. But if Rabi' Al-Awwal begins on Sunday August 24, then Prophet Muhammad's birthday (PBUH) should fall on Thursday September 4. This would give Dubai residents an additional day off during the working week. The exact date will be confirmed closer to the time and will depend on official moon sightings. In 2025, if a public holiday falls on the weekend, it can now be moved to the start of the new week. This is a new law introduced in 2025 and can be found in the UAE Official Gazette. However, this law does not apply to either Eid Al Fitr or Eid Al Adha. Public holidays list of dates 2025 We have at least 12 public holidays in the UAE in 2025.
