After hearing so much about the "Princess Souqs" we decided to go check them out. This is the place where the princess's are supposed to take their clothes after wearing them only once and giving them away. Thought we might be in for some designer bargains!!!
Unfortunately I did not get any pictures of the clothes - as all the women's clothes were hidden at the back of all these stalls - just think really tacky.
This would be the ideal place to go if you needed an outfit for a party themed tacky with a capital T.
And its not really a place for western women to be hanging out - and especially if u are blonde and forget to take a scarf with you!!!!

There were loads of stuff just thrown on the ground.
Rows and rows of carpets and cushions
Teapots galore, pots, aircon units, ovens alsorts
A renovators paradise maybe.
Teri and a lovely old sewing machine - my grandmother used to have one just like it.
More teapots - some were actually quite nice
Sheds full of carpets
Teri
Some really tacky designed lounge suites - quite comfy though
Tacky!!!
Plastic plants
This shop has some really good homeware stuff inside
Now I was stupid enough to leave my scarf at home (usually I am very good at taking it everywhere) and being white and blonde drew alot of attention. A car with two mutawa (religious police) drove passed us and told us to cover - so this plastic bag had to do until they disappeared.
Post princess souq lunch at the turkish restaurant. The best food ever and oh so cheap.
Yummy food and bread - but our eyes were bigger than our bellies.
