Hi,

If you are interested in High End Audio then the right place is Sharaf DG + (plus) in Time Square. I am not sure any sale or offer is on right at this moment. You can check with them over phone, even other wise it is worth visiting them to have look and audition of high end audio systems.

Lulu Supermall .

Carrefour and Lulu? Have you visited these places? All they sell are vegetables, clothes, groceries, household goods, and small electronics items. They certainly do not stock any serious AV hardware.

Cheers

Vadiraj, in addition to Sharaf, all look for VV & Sons. They stock most of the major brands in various brances.

Cheers

In Lulu? Most probably they are like the 'Sany' that sell in India. Lulu is the most cheap and useless joint I have ever seen in my life.

Carrefour does stock some brands, but they are like 2-in-ones, DVD Players, etc.

Cheers

Yes,they sell in Carefour,but remember most electronic goods are more expensive in Dubai than in India.For example,my friend enquired the price of NOKIA N8,which was 2200dhirams there(27.5k Rs).He bought it for 22 K the next week in India.
There are many shops in both EMIRATES MALL and Dubai mall.Maximum difference in price between various shops would be only 300 dhirams.You will be surprised as to how the price is the same in all the shops.
REMEMBER THE 35% CUSTOMS DUTY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY IN INDIA(the total cost will then exceed the actual cost in India).Customs officers have the entire price list with them and there is no way of escaping.You will have to pay for the additional weight too(20kg plus) at the airports in Dubai.
Off topic,visit the beach!and for tasty Indian food-Bangalore empire and Jewels of India.

Hi All,

I visited Dubai and really found some models of Plasma, LCD and LED models were very cheap. I found most of LCDs were atleast 25-30% cheap compared to India. Some of them were even 50% cheap...Toshiba Regza - 42" LCD was 2099 Dhs..

Visited VV Sons at the Emirates mall and almost struck a deal for Onkyo TXNR609 for 2800 Dhs...But then later took my wife to Ikea and I had to leave my receiver for the stuff she bought from Ikea..

VV sons also had some good deals on Jamo speakers...I recommend to visit this store as these guys stock most HIFI stuffs.

I also visited Carrefour and trust me they had good range of HTs.. I saw many Harman Kardon receivers bundled with JBL speakers. Most of them are Receivers with Sat speakers and ranging from 1000 Dhs to 2200 dhs..I thought some of them were very good deal if you are looking for HTiBs.

Thanks for everyone who suggested these places. I need to visit again with empty bag and without my wife

Dubai is a lot cheaper than India when it comes to TVs...and the best places to buy are Lulu & Carrefour.

For entry level hifi one can try Sharaf DG and Plugins. VV & Sons used to be very good until 2-3 years back and one could get excellent bargains but is now only a shadow of its former self.

For higher end stuff it is Dubai Audio Center on Sh. Zayed Road and Audissey at the Wafi mall

Cheers
