Buying gadgets, computers in Bahrain
Hello all,
I am soon moving to Bahrain and wanted to know if Bahrain is a good place to buy some geeky gadgets due to not having tax? If you also know the best shops for computer equipments and gadgets in Bahrain, let me know.
Thank you very much in advance.

Bought a Bose iPod dock at the airport duty free, seemed like a good deal.

It may be 'no tax' but it doesn't actually work out that much cheaper. I tend to buy online and get my gadgets sent to me (with the exception if I want it NOW of course 
).
