I'd have thought Carrefour in MoE would be a good bet, or maybe Geant in Ibn Battuta (Carrefour is better for that kind of thing though). There's a Sharaf DG in Marina Mall which might have one but no doubt you'd overpay.

How desperate for it are you??? I have suitcase full of them, But can't need to go to the springs and get it some point over the weekend. If that helps!

Cheers Chris

Just saw them today in the MOE - Virgin store in the guitar section. No idea what price they were.

cara in MOE - sale's guy quote "urrrr, dont know", checked electrical and other cable type shelves

didnt check virgin

in MOE it was a belkin one in one of the E shops, I should have just bought it but at 10x what it should cost thought I could find a 10dhs one

only need one short term so will probably pick up a set of headphones and hack it with the cable I have and buy a beer with the saving

thanks all

I searched everywhere as I needed one of these too. Carrefour, MOE, wasn't expensive, 20dhm from memory.

Asking for help in any supermarket in Dubai is often a mistake in my experience - lots of wasted time, and often advice that is worse than useless.

Especially asking where something is, to which the answer is invariably "over near the other side of the store [ensuring I can hide before you realise I am talking rubbish and you come back to find me]".
