A Dh25 Etisalat pay-as-you phone card will cost you Dh28 at the shop at Jumeirah’s Bab al Shams hotel. The bloke behind the counter smirked and shook his head when I asked him why there was a 12 per cent mark up. The place is out in the middle of nowhere, but as Jumeirah’s website explains, it’s only 45 minutes from the airport. Surely it’s not transport costs. Does anyone have an explanation? Feel free to mail any other examples of rip-off prices in
