I have one of my friends who is currently in Riyadh. He is travelling to India next month. Is there anything which I can ask him to get from there which would be lesser priced. I have heard there are lot of electronic goods available in middle east at lesser price.

Kindly advise.

Seriously, He can't bring anything worthy (electronics goods) cause they are higher priced at those places, even that that of S-E Asia.

You can get the basic electronics and stuff. Even KSA (king,...Saudi Arabia) is an untaxed country.

Anything that runs on electricity and petrol is much much cheaper out there.

I have a TV, Music system, PC...ok I can't type it all...lot of stuff from there for cheap. With TVs (sony bravia) there is a massive 20k difference. A lot depends on the shop you buy from though.

Good luck.
