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.
