I am not encouraging gray market but there are many electronic shops in Naif and Bur Dubai selling authentic iphones from US or UK with facetime feature. It's about AED250-350 less than mall prices. They have freebies too like apps or accessories (made in china though). The only downside of this is your warranty claim or service if ever the phone goes kaput. But personally if you are staying or a resident in UAE, buy from a good store just in case something goes wrong. But then again, another consideration is most iphones don't need any service or warranty at all as it's a good phone to begin with.

Try 'Micro', one of their stores located opposite emirates nbd bank (the one nearest ski dubai side) of MOE They sell US & UK versions WITH FaceTime. You'll pay a little extra for unlocked but so worth it to keep in touch with other FT users abroad.

Geant had plenty in stock a few weeks ago. They also gave 150 dhs gift voucher against the one I purchased.

UAE iphones don't have facetime on them, you need to buy a UK or US imported unlocked phone. The 'grey' market shops have these, that's the independent electronics stores. Al Falakawi in Mirdiff CC has them.

Phones from Carrefour are locked so can not get Facetime so better to get from a shop where unlocked

Usually buy from carrfour, but moreso to collect points. The price of the iphone seems to be the same everywhere.. Correct me if I'm wrong.
