I am travelling to Piyara via Abu Dhabi. On way i wanna buy some gold earings and rings, sunglasses plus watches. I hope many of you have done shopping from duty free.
I wanna know few things…
The price of Gold { Ladies know much in this field }
The price difference between inside and outside of the airport.
So wat do u suggest should i buy from AD duty free or buy every thing before departing??
Abu Dhabi Airport is quite small, especially if you compare it with Dubai. As far as I remember there is only jewellery shop at Abu Dhabi Duty Free, so obviously the variety is not as big either.
The Gold price in the UAE is similar to that in Pakistan, which is very high these days. They actually charge more for the labour here than in our good old homeland. But the quality of the jewellery and the gold from Dubai (and probably Abu Dhabi) is higher.
In fact I have heared that the jewellers here can tell from looking at a piece of jewellery whether it is "Desi" gold from Pakistan/India or "pure gold" from one of the Gulf countries. So when you want to sell jewellery, you would get a lower price for the "Desi" gold.
