Today I visited Sharq Souq, which is a souq attached to one of the older shopping malls selling mostly food; you can find a wide variety of vegetables, fruit, fish and dates in every possible form alongside a vast array of spices and teas, which all looked and smelt yummy! The stall owners were super friendly and we got lots of freebies! One of the fish mongers ushered me to pose with the fish when I requested his permission to take a photo! Everyone found me and my photo taking rather amusing! The souk proved to be much cheaper and better quality than the super markets where the fresh food is often too ripe; no expats seem to use the souks...not sure why, habbit I guess.Sharq Souk has sold souk shopping to me! Next friday I will visit the friday market which sells evrything including clothes and trinkets :-)! It is a little more intimidating, I have been told to expect attention and maybe some tag alongs!
Me as a fish monger...these tuna were HUGE!
Fishing boats just outside the souk!
