Blue Souq, Sharjah 2







As promised, more photos.

One is of Mohammad and Anne having a pashmina consultation. Just before this picture was taken two young men had come in and tried to haggle with Mohammad, saying quite rude things from the combined body language. I could see Anne smiling, yes she can speak that language and got the gist of the argument. How she resisted making comment I don't know, not sure I'd have had any such self control.

The others are the Blue Souq wind towers on dusk and the souq with the backdrop of construction, quite surreal when there's a lovely park and well developed creek area just next door. Sharjah is close to Dubai and seems to have a lot of construction. I only hope it doesn't spoil the natural beauty of the place.
