Lonely Planet review for Anat

A wonderful one-of-a-kind store, the not-for-profit Anat, is the place to shop for original gifts and souvenirs handmade in a workshop in the Palestinian refugee camp from embroidered textiles produced by women in villages all over Syria. Traditional Syrian and Palestinian embroidery techniques are employed to create contemporary items, including coin and cosmetic purses and hand and shoulder bags (in hundreds of sizes), cushion covers, slippers and clothes.

The profits from the sale of these exquisite products are shared among the women.
