hi

anyone knows hobby shops in dubai??

my freind is on a visit there

regds

there are few of them..
- hobby centre - airport road, mall of the emirates and dubai mall
- ultimate heli - near lamcy plaza
- there is another one at the end of sh zayed complex the same line of crown plaza - but the last shop on the road ( around a km after crown plaza) i dont recall the name...

i will post the tel nos of hobby centre and ultimate heli soon... also there is a chinese mall called as dragon mall ask him to visit there too

Hobbies Zone is another one in Deira area.

Some information here too, especially regarding DragonMart : http://www.rcindia.org/helis/abt-heli/

The name is Toy's & us  there is a guy by the name of Joseph there  who has been around there for ages  .
Phn : 0097143436035 or 3432303 . They used to have a mix of  good brands .

The other is Khajoor Hobby  which is on the road going to  Oman  after  Ras al Khor junction .
This is run by a guy of Iranian origin .

Used to have OFNA cars and some  usual stuff from GWS etc . this guy has also been around for some time  as I saw some photos of Maddy there  about  4 years back .

Then there used to be one shop I think it was called Hobby world in Karama  this was owned by  a Kuwaiti hobby shop   of the same name  these guys had  World Models and  again some branded stuff .

I have always felt  comfortable with Joseph  from Toys and Us  as he was both reasonable and friendly and knew what he was talking about .
The other hobby shops were dominated by Phillipinos with a serious attitude problem  as usual as far as Indian's were concerned .
So  invariably I would always buy from Toys and Us.

I might be a bit outdated though as I used to visit these shops around 2-3 years back before I started RCFORALL.

Yes you will find tower hobby price from the local shos. Infact they normaly match the price provided on the web for almost all the items..  if you are talking about HC No way...

Yes, HC are cheaper if you are willing to wait few days which takes for shipping.

Looks like Ultimate Heli is THE main RC shop in Dubai these days.  Visited the shop today, and their collection is huge, of all types of RC stuff. It is not just helis, they have planes of all types and sizes, from foamies to huge gassers.  In cars, they are dealing mostly with Losi stuff. Prices are OK, if can do a bit of bargaining based on internet rates.

Most importantly, it was a pleasure to meet Manoj despite his busy schedule, and deeply appreciate his help in locating Ultimate Heli.

Dear Anwar Gi,
I am still  excited  about our meeting yesterday here in Dubai. In fact I should thank you for all the efforts you made to allocate the morning time of my convenience for our meeting.  Hope to see you soon
