Right after T3 security at Kotoka, Sanbra Duty Free sits on the main passenger path toward the gates, so you almost can’t miss it. This is the primary duty free in Terminal 3, covering liquor, tobacco, perfume, basic cosmetics, and some last-minute Ghana gifts. Prices on spirits are generally better than landside shops in Accra, but not a steal compared with Europe or Dubai.
Sanbra Duty Free serves only T3 passengers, so you need a boarding pass and must clear security first. Shelves lean heavily into whisky, cognac, and major perfume brands, with less depth on skincare or niche labels. You’ll see standard 1L duty free bottles, some 2-bottle promos, and a few Ghana-themed gift packs that work as quick presents if you skipped the markets in town.
Payment-wise, they accept major cards and US dollars alongside Ghanaian cedis, which helps if you’re transiting and don’t want extra local cash. Snacks and chocolate run higher than city supermarkets, but still fine for gate snacks before a T3 regional departure. Tobacco cartons are present but not the biggest range, so don’t count on finding every specific brand variant.
No published opening hours, but flights through T3 run late into the night and the shop generally tracks those banks of departures. If you care about prices, walk through on arrival at T3, note bottle costs, then decide if you’ll buy on departure. Last tip: factor in hand-luggage rules for any onward connection, especially if your next leg in Europe makes you re-clear security without a STEB bag from Sanbra.
