franca70 · 07/10/2006 23:06

sorry salted butter, yes, I know you can't take it to dubai

British magazines are very expensive in dubai.
and you can't get ready meals (but i think it would be difficult to take them!)
They don't have a lot of the latest toys either. Stuff in the lego shop was quite out of date.

Her children are teenagers so toys not really needed,but they still want frubes and shout magazine apparently which I can't seem to find.
How about cheese ,could I take that?

I seem to remember Dubai had a very good selection of cheese . . .
Teenage girls...hmm....don't they just like going round shopping centres with thier mates? There are some fabulous malls in Dubai.
i'll keep thinking . . .

Yes you can get marmite in Dubai (unfortunately)

Theshrimp is right, British mags are really expensive here!!
