Is Shopping In Dubai Cheaper Than Us? Which Brands Are Cheaper?
Since I have been a resident of the USA for 23 years and have been living in Dubai for more than three months, I am familiar with the prices of various products in Dubai and the USA. During my stay in Dubai, I visited many shopping malls and learned a lot about the prices of products in this city. In this article, I want to compare the prices of different products in Dubai with those in the USA cities.
Are things cheaper in Dubai than in the USA?
The answer to this question depends on what you are looking to buy. If you want to gold jewelry or electronics, I must tell you that the price of these goods in Dubai is lower than in the USA because the tax in Dubai is zero percent. For example, the price of jewelry in Dubai is about 10-20% lower than in the USA.
But suppose you are looking to buy alcoholic beverages, brand clothes, accessories, etc. In that case, I must tell you that the price of these products in Dubai is not very different from the USA, and they are sometimes a little more expensive.
In the list below, I have specified the expensive and cheap products of Dubai:
| Product | Price |
| jewelry | Cheap |
| Spices | Cheap |
| Electronics | Cheap (with caution) |
| Textiles | Cheap |
| Groceries | Cheap (some items) |
| Clothing | Expensive |
| Luxury goods | Expensive |
| Alcohol | Expensive |
| Pork | Expensive |
