For several years, it was believed that in Dubai you can make good purchases. Is this a true or well repeated myth? Should I pin high hopes on a full or partial update of family wardrobe in the Emirates and how much can it cost? Let's try to figure it out.
Like before
No one argues that even 15-20 years ago, the lucky ones in the Middle East to earn money in the UAE really bought high-quality clothing and equipment with functionality that was unprecedented at ridiculous prices. It is clear that things are considered more or less acceptable quality and at very affordable prices than almost from heaven. Because, firstly, in our country there was a post-perestroika era with a complete shortage, and secondly, the Chinese economy and industry have not yet developed so intensively, and shops in Dubai have not crashed into mountains of cheap consumer goods. not.
Already 5-10 years ago, the situation in the UAE market began to change. Sellers experienced growing demand year after year, they felt the taste of money and thought that it was much more interesting to earn more by selling so much. If they buy at higher prices, why cheap?
And so right now
At present, the situation in the United Arab Emirates trade area is generally unclear. Prices, for the most part, are close to the values ??of price tags for similar goods sold in large countries of our country. The quality of the goods offered is also different, each item must be carefully checked. It does not matter at all that the goods of interest are sold in a small store on Nasskaya Square or on the Al-Karam market of fakes.
There is also no clear and definite opinion about the countries selling manufacturers of products in the UAE.
For some, Emirates is a place where you can buy everything - gold, fur, world famous brands and famous brands, cosmetics and perfumes, accessories, equipment, carpets and luxury car hire much more ... and almost everything you can imagine. there is. And people do not care how much it will cost, for them the main thing is different - they dress abroad. It enhances their status in their own eyes and the eyes of others. The only thing that causes stress is winter clothing (jackets are not considered to be a separate industry in Dubai) and winter shoes.
And there are those who sincerely believe that this is now after shopping in Dubai, which is equivalent to buying dirty clothes in the market in his hometown, which is full of Chinese garbage. For them, shopping is possible only in Europe and America.
And it is useless to convince and even convince people. This was the situation in the world, and the standard jokes: “Gradually, the entire world economy is reduced to the fact that other goods produced in China as their own” become the truth of life. It is imperative that everyone remembers and understands that there is nothing terrible in Chinese goods, the lion's share of Apple products is half a sinister world. The iPhone and iPad are also produced in Asia in general and especially in the Middle Kingdom, and nothing, the question. because they do not suffer. So why it is impossible to produce well-known brands there, of course, with the undeniable observance of high and strict quality requirements?
The main rule of any shopping - look, carefully look at what you are buying. Quality goods indecent cheap not by definition. Much more often is the opposite. If you are picky about attention and attention, you can upgrade your wardrobe for the whole family. If you are happy, you can save a lot of money. And you can not buy anything, and complain about the high cost, scarce size and low quality. In any case, the choice is yours.
I wish all tourists and customers very good and only high quality! I want to believe that the tour in the UAE will not disappoint you!
