Does The UAE impose a tarrif on parts that are imported? That could be another reason the price is artificially high.
It looks like the US price would be around $400-500 for the rack and $200-300 for the vehicle specific mounting kit.
Many companies have protected territories that prevent the main distributor from competing against foreign dealers.
With some work you can usually get around that rule. ARB won't sell you a rack. But they distribute to a hundred retailers who don't care about the territories. The trick is finding a retailer who doesnt mind the hassle of shipping a rack to the UAE.
Get the specifice part #s you want and then start searching discount 4x4 shops.
