Naif Souq

The historic Naif Souq was burned down in 2008 and replaced by this mall-style version, albeit fronted by arabesque arches. It is especially popular with local women looking for bargain-priced abayas (full-length robes) and accessories, such as hair extensions, costume jewelry, oud incense and henna products.

For the liveliest ambiance, visit in the evening and grab a shawarma and juice for sustenance. It's next to a mosque, so dress modestly.
