 A traditional yet modern Souq with a distinctive Arabic flavor. Designed by Halcrow, it opened in 1987 and has 50 shops. It is maintained by the Municipality.
Enclosed and cooled by air-conditioning, it is remarkable for its modern and traditional Islamic architecture and worth a visit for its golden dome showing the galaxy. Note the finely chiseled wrought-iron lamps.
Inside you will find a variety of shops offering clothes, shoes, perfumes and textiles. This Souq is quite popular with local shoppers.
Look for the Amiri stores that has a very nice selection of textiles, Nina Ricci and Versace silk scarves.
