Do you want to do Shopping in Abu Dhabi?
'Souk' is the Arabic word, which stands for the market or place
where any kind of goods are brought or exchanged. Traditionally,
Arabic shipping vessels discharge their cargos brought from the
Far East, China, Ceylon and India on the docks, which would be bargained
over in the souks adjacent to the docks. The times have changes
since then as Dubai Gold Souk have given way to air-conditioned multi-storeyed
shopping malls and items on sale have changed from spices, silks
and Ittar (Arabic Perfume) to latest electronic gizmos, gold and
designer apparels. Where you are going to stay Coral Deira or Le Meridien Abu Dhabi?
