Ichibawa 5th Gear March 4, 2014 Share March 4, 2014 Yup things are cheaper there but its not really those jaw dropping cheap because in Sg our imports are tax free. Our Chinese friends from the mainland loves Dubai because for them its very much cheaper compared to their local import due to luxury tax. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triston77 1st Gear March 4, 2014 Share March 4, 2014 make sure don't kena knock-off ... i assume there is no knock-off in dubai huh? hehe There are...at dragon mart. Operated and run by chinamen. :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ins1dious Turbocharged March 4, 2014 Share March 4, 2014 (edited) You get knock-off everywhere :) Yes, Dragon Mart is one of them places. Damn place is a kilometer long. You can get perfumes for cheap in Bur Dubai. I don't find other stuff that much cheaper. At least not worth the hassle of carrying it back and warranty and stuff. But you're going now bro? Bloody hot now. Best time to visit would be Nov-Feb. Edited March 4, 2014 by ins1dious 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning to make a trip there, if its cheaper will bring more cash. Thanks foodcourt & restaurants : Dubai more expensive. Electronic stuff : About the same price, Luxury handbags : About the same or slightly more expensive than here depending on brand Luxury watches : Dubai cheaper and can negotiate especially Rolex. Dubai is the next best after HK for luxury watches. Normal pharmacy medicine : Dubai much much cheaper!! You can stock your vitamins, cold medicines, allergy medicines while you are in Dubai! Gold : You may not believe but physical gold (gold bars, gold coins) is slightly cheaper here. Spices : Dubai famous for this stuff, I think cheaper bah....never really compare. If have time, go down to Dubai Marina to have a view of our "Shenton Way/MBS" but much nicer surroundings. Edited March 4, 2014 by Icedbs 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
