In an Arab city, the central marketplace is called a souk or souq and traditional souks offer a unique experience to any shopper. Bargaining is a necessity and one has to rummage to find that distinct piece you are looking out for. Satwa Souk is one of the city’s best kept secrets with people often overlooking stores here that sell high quality fabrics coming in from the world over. Imported fabrics are sold by the yard along with home art and decor including carpets and unique cushion sets. Traditional garments and accessories can also be found here and ubiquitous little tailor shops help you into a perfect fit.
