Not only have we seen Dubai chocolate cookies, Dubai-inspired cheesecakes and £10 Dubai chocolate from Lindt being flogged in Sainsbury's, but now an iconic bakery item has been given the Dubai twist.
It comes after one bargain hunter was left totally stunned after spotting the new Flair Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Croissants in her local Iceland.
Thrilled with her find, Emily Scott took to social media to alert others to the purse-friendly sweet treat, leaving many gobsmacked - but not in a good way.
Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 839,900 members, Emily shared a snap of the new-in bakery buy, which contains four chocolate and pistachio croissants in a pack.
Alongside a snap of the pastries which are priced at £3 a pack, Emily simply penned: 'New Dubai chocolate pistachio croissants at Iceland!'
According to those at Flair, the pastries, which are 'made in Dubai' will enable foodies to 'indulge in exquisite taste'.
Each croissant is said to be 'baked to perfection', featuring rich chocolate dough and a velvety pistachio cream filling.
The 'premium treat' has also been hailed as 'perfect for sharing, gifting, or enjoying yourself'.
The croissants are individually wrapped, making them convenient for on-the-go enjoyment.
Not only this, but they are said to be 'ideal for every occasion', whether that's breakfast, snacking, or even a sophisticated dessert.

But Facebook users weren't totally convinced by the new croissants and many thought they looked 'horrifying'.
Not only did people hail the pistachio trend as 'nonsense', but others wondered when the viral craze 'would end'.
