My husband will arrive in Dubai in 10 days. He will need to purchase some household basics: iron, kettle, microwave, frying pan etc as well as a bed and he will need to do this as soon as he arrives.
Can anyone suggest a shop or shopping area that would enable him to purchase everything he needs in the one stop? Cheers.

Might want to consider Union Co-op. Many of the same kinds of things as Ikea & the other supermarkets with better prices. Bought stainless flatware and plain white dishes, for 8 for 150dhs (luncheon, dinner, soup bowl, coffee & saucers) Decent prices on electric kettles etc. too. Had to return a blender which they exchanged without any hassle.

IKEA definitely best place for a man one stop shop - it's cheap and then if you hate it all, you can get rid of it later! ;) lol

If it's CBD, assuming we are talking about International City, then Dubai Festival City will be the closest and most convenient place to shop. Household essentials in IKEA and Hyperpanda hypermarket; Electronics in Hyperpanda and Plug-Ins

He will be in an apartment temporarily but we haven't been advised where as yet. I'm assuming CBD? Sorry I don't have more info.

Ikea for the begining essentials...and theres a Hyperpanda supermarket in the same mall. Is festival city, and ideal for a man on his own....his attention span should last the distance for 2 shops at least! Also helpful is there is an ACE hardware store in the same complex.
