Last week my Dad, Stepmom and I went to the fabric souq (escalator souq) I got some green velvet, about 4 1/2 yards to use as our Thanksgiving table cloth and to bring home and craft with for $15.00. Then we went to our favorite tailor and my Dad got a sport coat made and my Stepmom got two skirts made. For women they can't measure you so they can make copies of clothes you already have. She took in her skirt and got 2 made to match for $18.00 each (including the fabric!)
Yesterday we picked up the clothing (all fits great) and then went to Souq Waqif for dinner and shopping. A souq is kind of like a mall. Souq Waqif is an outdoor "mall" with all kinds of shops and restaurants. I got some Christmas shopping done and we had dinner outside at the Italian place we like. Then John and my Dad smoked some shisha and we all had tea. I also got a new chain for my camel necklace at the Gold Souq.
