I am thinking before Ramadan the African Eastern store was 140?

Hi All, has anyone purchased from Centaurus? If so was it a smooth transaction?

I know they are closed for Ramadan at the moment, but seems very convenient for them to deliver as well and prices seem ok?

Any help much appreciated.

And Jim, and Booker and the gang from Knob Creek as well as Make the Mark occasionally. Gave up chasing Wild Turkeys out at Woodford Reserve but really like that nice gentleman Mr. Weller.

An alcohol license is permission to drink alcohol rather than permission to buy alcohol (similar to a driving licence).
Tourists and visitors to the UAE do not need an alcohol licence to drink alcohol in bars, restaurants, and other licensed establishments in the UAE - they cannot obtain one anyway since a UAE residence visa is a requirement to obtain an alcohol license.
