If you need a trophy for your next event, here are our top recommendations for the best trophy stores in Dubai.
How Much Do Trophies Cost
Trophies can vary in cost and there are multiple factors that can affect its price. They have quite a range in their design complexity, size and the material used to make the item.
The most common fee criteria, however, is based on type.
Simple trophies are essentially just a plastic figurine on a marble base with an engraved plate on the front. This looks like the typical trophies given in schools and such and are the least expensive.
The second type is a complex trophy made from stock parts. This means that even though the trophy can contain multiple stacks of designs on top of another, it is essentially using pre-made parts by the store.
Lastly, the most expanesive are hand-made complex trophies which are usually custom-made, to some extent. These trophies usually incorporate a new design based on the client’s needs and are made from scratch.
With that being said, here’s a table listing the average cost you can incur when commissioning or purchasing any of the previously mentioned trophies:
The Best Trophy Stores in Dubai
Here are the following factors we’ve used in assessing these trophy stores:
1. Trophy Shop LLC
| Criteria | Ratings |
| Variety | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Services | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Support | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Store | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
This store has been in the business since 1989. With decades of experience under their belts, Trophy Store LLC has provided awards for various companies and events.
Their product range is quite vast, consisting of awards, trophies, medals, and crystals. These trinkets come in various types and designs but this shop can also provide personal engravings and logos.
We’ve also observed that they release new designs every few months! This ensures the variety and options for their clients.
The store offers in-store pickup or delivery. Unfortunately, they do not have an online shopping platform as this store clearly encourages clients to visit or give them a call.
Speaking of which, the store is well-organised and is more than capable of accommodating walk-in customers. Each item is categorised by type and design, making it easy to browse through their offerings.
It’s a little small inside though, so if there are multiple people inside, it might get a bit crowded.
Overall, we recommend heading here for their years of experience making awards and trophies for their clients. In addition, their variety in terms of design and customization services is certainly right up our alley!
Pros
- Has a wide variety of designs available
- Allows trophy personalization
Cons
- Encourages contact or visit for more information
- Small store

“Amazing experience with the team at Trophy Shop, both in the store and on WhatsApp !
They had exactly what I was looking for even though it was very specific and I was able to personalise it with a logo and text on a nice golden plate.

The pricing is great for the quality and the design, solid quality.
They also have lots of options for many sports, school or business rewards, trophies of different sizes or colours, medals, etc .. I highly recommend you to visit the shop! Thanks again !” -Dordeblanc, via Google Reviews
2. Macro Trend
| Criteria | Ratings |
| Variety | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Services | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Support | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Store | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
Macro Trend is a trophy store that provides a fairly good amount of trophies and awards for its customers.
This place is primarily visited for the designs they carry. These include championship cup-style and the two-tier trophies we usually see in school events and other competitions.
Several companies and individuals have been purchasing from Macro Trend for about five years running now. While they may not be the most experienced on this list, they’ve still managed to create a reputation as a trophy store.
We recommend visiting the physical store itself so you can see the range of items they can create. In addition, seeing the range of trophy designs in person can help you decide on what you want.
The store’s organization makes the trophies look scattered all over the place though. So, we recommend asking for help or any recommendations during your visit to avoid wasting a lot of time.
In terms of extra services they offer for their buyers, Macro Trend only has engraving options available. If you’re aiming to commission a trophy store for a specific trophy design, this place will not be for you.
Overall, we recommend Macro Trend for its wide range of trophies available for its clients! It’s certainly a good option for a place to look for some awards.
Pros
- Good design variety
- Helpful and professional staff
Cons
- Cluttered-looking store
- Requires contact or visit for more info

3. Winner Sports Trading LLC
| Criteria | Ratings |
| Variety | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Services | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Support | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Store | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
Winner Sports Trading is an award and trophy supplier. Since 1993, this company has provided commemorative trinkets for schools, organizations, and government institutions.
Their colorful list of clientele include the Dubai Government, the Jebel Ali School, Oracle, and Cisco.
What we like about this store is that it is very accessible. This means that people who wish to browse for their products can go to their website first to view their designs before visiting the company.
Winner Sports Trading has designs in multiple sizes and colors. From cup motifs to resin figurines as designs, clients will have some options to choose from.
We do have to note that the offered variations on sale look quite similar to one another. So yes, you have choices in how big or what color your trophy would be.
It’s just that design-wise, everything seems to be an altered version of another, to the point that we believe it may be a signature design concept from the company.
Winner Sports Trading has a spacious interior. We’ve observed that the store is organized, and clients can easily browse through the items they have on sale.
We do have to note that the parking space here is quite limited. Get ready to look for a faraway location for your car or just not ride a car on the way to Winner Sports Trading.
We believe that Winner earns the spot on this list for their accessibility, years of experience in the trophy-making industry, as well as the variations they offer for clients.
Pros
- Wide product variety
- Offers designs in multiple sizes and colors
- Years of experience in the industry
- Has an online store
Cons
- Designs look a bit similar with each other
- Store has limited parking space
Customer Reviews:
Good Quality, Great Customer Service
“The quality and customer service are amazing!They were so easy to deal with. They replied to WhatsApp messages right away and sent me PDFs of all my options. They fulfilled and delivered the order so fast and everything turned out even better quality than what we expected. They look better in real life than they do in the pictures. The way they put the images and words on the medals was precisely centered and neat. It looks like you spent over a hundred dirhams for each medal but really they’re only about 25 dirhams. The folders that the certificates came in were also customized and branded to match the certificates themselves.” -Bintfazer, via Google Reviews
Swift Delivery Time, Good Service
“Good prices and great delivery time. Very satisfied with the quality of service.” -Nabil Jamil

5. Crystal Gallery
| Criteria | Ratings |
| Variety | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Services | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Support | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Store | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
Crystal Gallery has been a manufacturer, marketer and retailer of exquisite handcrafted crystal products since 1992. They have awards, souvenirs, and trophies for various events and occasions.
They have supplied for events such as the Dubai Quality Awards, Sheikh Khalifa Excellence Award, GITEX Award, and the Etisalat 25th Anniversary Awards.
While the designs they have on sale are great, people flock here for their custom award creation services. Heads up though: it’s going to be made out of crystal.
Although there is a lack of material variety in this store, the design and product types available are well-designed. If you’re looking for more traditional, wood and gold trophies, this company is not for you.
Clients can choose from shape, sign, design, engraving, and more for their customization services. They are ISO-certified which implies that the quality of their products are up to standard.
Even though they have a dedicated service for custom trophies, we’ve observed that it’s not the main focus of the company. We see them leaning towards replicas of popular buildings like mosques, as well as 3D models of various objects such as swords, cups, and more.
However, that does not stop us from recommending this place. For their customization services and good crystal award and plaque qualities, we advise checking this place out!
Pros
- Can make custom awards
- Great product variety
- ISO-certified
Cons
- Crystal awards and trophies only
- Awards and trophies not their main focus
