Spending the day cleaning the apartment, doing some laundry, going to the pool and then the Museum of Islamic Art. After that, who knows?
Last night we went to the Souq, an outdoor market full of shops selling touristy things, thobes, abayas, fabrics, jewelry, antiques and other random things. I definitely will be filling at least half of my suitcase with gifts for friends and family. There are great shoes, dresses that would make wonderful beach cover ups and the cheesy tourist stuff is pretty great too.
There are many restaurants and people sit outside in front of gigantic fans (some which mist water at you) while they enjoy fruit juices, 'cocktails' (non-alcoholic of course), tea or coffee and smoke sheesha. It's a wonderful place to go on week nights or weekends.
I hope to visit some of the other Souqs this year - there is one that sells antiques, a fish market and an animal souq which sells camels, falcons and who knows what else considering I saw a cheetah in the front seat of a LandRover recently.
that's all for now, more on my students later. much love.
