changnoi Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Looking at buying a digital camera at around 200usd. I have some transit time in Dubai and wondered if the duty free area might yield a bargain. I'm aware that goods are cheaper in Dubai proper, but that's not an option. Any experiences ?

iuytrede Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 passed through there 2 weeks ago, had exactly the same idea, but found no bargains beware: warranties are for Dubai only! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusty Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I bought a sony pornocam there a couple of years ago and there was a saving of around 18% on UK prices and it had an international guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLeakHunt Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I travelled through there about 5 years ago. At the time the airport was a shithole, but the electronic goods were very cheap. Since they've done the place up the prices seem to have gone up in accordance. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was getting rental income off a couple of airport shops I wouldn't be driving a fucking cab in Stockport would I? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
changnoi Posted October 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 For the record, I just passed through Dubai. New airport is very sparkly. Not too impressed with the organisation however. Electronic goods looked ok. Example price: Canon Prima Super 150 QD at 173.11 usd. Some one else can check this price on the web. I'm otherwise occupied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
