27 things to doin Abu Dhabi
The oldest market in Abu Dhabi where you can feel the Oriental charm and the spirit of Arabic street trading while walking along unique maze of narrow market streets.
The Old Souq, Abu Dhabi
The old open-air market is a unique labyrinth of narrow market streets. The market stalls offer all kinds of goods: antiquities, handmade items, jewelry, carpets, fabrics, clothes and and a host of other things.

This rundown bazaar is distinctly different from present-day markets. But exactly this feature makes it special. The Oriental flavour, distinctive character and a chance to experience all the charm of market haggling attract curious travellers.
