Recommendations for Dubai?

Hi all, We're going to Dubai and Sharjah on hols later this month (crazy temperature, but we're visiting friends, so staying indoors). Seems the perfect opportunity to go hunting for hi-fi bargains in a shopper's paradise...
Does anyone have any recommendations of places to try? I'm looking for bargains for Naim, Cyrus or Meridian types of kit.
I don't know if you'll pick up the bargain you are looking for. I was out in Bahrain not long ago and was already for a blitz on electicals but with the state of the pound the exchange rates were not really that good. The other thing you need to think about is if you have to pay VAT on bringing them back in. Not being fully up on HM & Customs law I am not sure what the rules are but it does ring a bell somewhere.
The only thing that did seem worth picking up, much to the better halfs suprise, was gold! Needless to say, this did not help my need to spend some cash on gadgets!
Ben.
