Appliances, Electronics and Hardware Stores in Dubai
You will find everything you could possibly need, and more, in Dubai. There is a wide-range of modern goods available to suit every wallet. There are cheaper products imported from India and Asia as well as the most expensive brands available in the West. The fact that there is no sales tax means despite the shipping costs to bring these goods into the country, prices are generally lower than they would be in your home country.
Appliances
Excellent ranges of reasonably-priced appliances are available at all the major hypermarkets, including:
- Carrefour (Deira City Center, Mall of the Emirates, Mirdif City Centre)
- Geant (Ibn Batutta Mall)
- Hyperpanda (Festival City)
- Union Coop (Safa)

Hardware Stores
Ace Hardware
– Festival City, Burjuman Center, Sheikh Zayed Road
Until recently, DIY was almost unheard of in Dubai as most people preferred to call in odd job men instead. The whole of the city was served by two branches of the American-owned Ace Hardware. With expatriates now able to buy homes in the city, DIY is becoming more and more popular. It is still Ace Hardware, however, that most people turn to and, to cope with the increased demand, they have opened a large megastore in Festival City.
