5 Things That Are Cheaper In Dubai Than In India

1. Tomatoes

Whether you’re looking to make a hearty curry or a fresh salad, Dubai is the place to stock up on this essential ingredient without burning a hole in your pocket. 1 kg of tomatoes in Dubai is AED 2.95 (?66.45) whereas in India, the same 1 kg would cost you around ?120 (AED 5.33). Safe to assume that McDonald’s would not be skimming on tomatoes in their menus here.

2. Luxury Phones: iPhone 14 Pro Max 1TB

Whether you’re an Apple fan or simply looking to upgrade your smartphone, Dubai provides an opportunity to own the latest iPhone without overspending. A Maxed-Out (1TB) iPhone 14 Pro Max cost AED 6,799 (?1,53,160) in Dubai BUT if you buy it in India its around ?1,89,900 (AED 8,441.22). 

3. High End TVs: LG OLED Evo G2

Dubai’s competitive market and favorable tax policies make it the ideal destination for scoring this impressive TV at a significantly lower price compared to India. The same TV that costs you AED 8,397 (?1,89,062.05) in Dubai will cost you approximately ?2,49,990 (AED 11,112.27) in India.

4. Gold

From intricately designed ornaments to simple gold chains, Dubai’s gold souks offer a wide range of options at comparatively lower prices than in India. A gram of 22K Gold in Dubai goes for as low as AED 214.50 (?4,832.04) but in India it’s as high as ?5,361 (AED 238.30).

5. Petrol

With lower fuel costs, Dubai not only eases the burden on motorists but also allows travelers to explore the city and its surroundings more freely. Special 95 which is AED 3 (?67.58) in Dubai is way cheaper than ?96.72 (AED 4.30).
