Price Guides
Real comparisons between international retail prices and what the same product costs in Pakistan's local market — sourced and dated, with a clear note wherever a figure still needs checking.
Price GuidePS5 Price: Dubai vs. PakistanA PS5 disc console runs about AED 2,020 (≈$550) on noon.com UAE, while Pakistani retailers list it around PKR 222,000–225,000 — a markup of roughly 40–50%. Buying it abroad and having a verified traveler carry it in closes most of that gap, even after a delivery reward.Price GuideDyson Airwrap Price in PakistanThe Dyson Airwrap Complete lists for $579.99 on dyson.com (US), while Pakistani resellers — who are the only local option, since Dyson doesn't sell here directly — price it around PKR 180,000–255,000. A traveler bringing it from a market where Dyson does sell officially avoids that reseller premium entirely.Price GuideiPhone Price: Dubai vs. Pakistan (Including PTA Tax)The iPhone 18 Pro runs $1,199 at international retail, while Pakistan's Non-PTA (unregistered) price for the 256GB model sits around PKR 389,000–450,000 — but a Non-PTA phone doesn't work properly on a local SIM long-term. The real comparison is international price plus PTA tax vs. Pakistan's fully-registered local price, and PTA tax depends on the model, so check PTA's own calculator before assuming a saving.Price GuideMacBook Price: USA vs. PakistanA 13-inch MacBook Air (M4, 256GB) lists at $999 on apple.com US, versus roughly PKR 285,000–295,000 at Pakistani retail — and US retailers frequently discount it further, especially around Black Friday, widening the gap beyond the list-price comparison.Price GuideOriginal Jordan 1 Price in PakistanNike never allocates Jordan 1 releases to Pakistan, so every pair sold here — including through resellers — is resale, not retail. StockX's own data shows an average resale premium of roughly 48% over original retail globally; a traveler buying at retail price in a market where the release actually drops avoids that premium.Price GuideThe Price Gap Index: Pakistan vs. AbroadThis index tracks the price gap between international retail and Pakistan's local market across 20 commonly-requested products, each sourced and dated — electronics typically run 20–50% higher in Pakistan, with exceptions noted inline where the comparison isn't a clean match (different models, no reliable local price, etc.).
