Gold Souks |
|
Sharjah is famous for its beautiful
souks, old and new. Bargain hunters
can explore the myriad handicraft
shops which stock everything from
carpets and antiques to Arabic
jewellery, onyx and semi precious
stones. Sharjah's gold souk is
dazzling and prices are like music
to the ears. Tonnes and tonnes
of gold hang inside shop windows,
luring the willing to convert
savings into hard metal and get
a hedge against inflation.
In the old souks, one sees shops
selling nargilahs, tall hubble
- bubble pipes in which the smoke
is passed through water veils
with decorated edges, pantaloons
with embroidered anklets, dress
lengths with, similarly embroidered
necklines and sari lengths made
from raw silks and cottons of
the Orient.
