Default Marks & Spencers In AD

Right just a quick one family are thinking about buying some Marks vouchers for me and the other half, can you use them over here and more to the point does the M & S in Abu Dhabi have a home section?

Cheers

marks and sparks is next to the "old" etislat not the "new" one, that is further up airport road opp HSBC building and next to the derelict post office building. So its next to the old etislat and is called Fatouh Al Khair Centre, the building has two pointy bits to it and being quite wide. Marks and Sparks vouchers I would doubt very much that the vouchers would be valid in the UK (yes i know its a uk shop) but the way shops work here is they are only franchises, so are not actually run by Marks and Sparks etc, but the best way is to actually ask them, but doubt it. Now a Home Section, what do you mean furniture etc, they are mainly clothes, a little food section, but no home section as such, if you are meaning duvet covers, etc.

Default Re: Marks & Spencers In AD

curious to know for those who've been to AD's M&S - what is the pricing structure like? coz in s'pore, our M&S prices are purportedly 3x that of UK's, because it's pitched as a high-end brand (whereas i'm told that in UK, it's a mid-range brand).
and are there sales at M&S in AD?
for comparison, an M&S ladies' top/bottom in singapore would cost upwards of US$80.

Hi, I personally don't think the prices are any different to the UK. Just brought my hubby a hat from there at 55dhs, the english price is underneath at £7.00, I think that's roughly the same isn't it?
