Since the demise of Sheikh Maktoum, ruler of Dubai, the DSF has been cancelled this year. All sponsors to the events have been refunded their contributions. However, sale offers at almost all outlets continue to go on. I happened to visit the City Center yesterday to look for some good offers on digital and video cameras and other electronic items, and the prices were considerably lower, alongwith some very good bundle offers as well.

It was rather dejecting to see the prices of my Harman Kardon-JBL home theater system go down by 300 dirhams, with a promotion of surround speakers’ stands as well. I had bought the system just over a month ago!

For those who plan to shop to fill up their wardrobes, there is a very decent discount on almost every brand.

I think this gives me a good opportunity to renew my wardrobe, which I’ve been planning to do for the past 6 months!
