Hi All!

Is there a website where to find a list of bazaars and handcraft markets in Abu Dhabi and Dubai?

Outdoor markets like Covent Garden at JBR are not for this Sumemr heat, but other markets like the Charity bazaar at the Sheraton (Abu Dhabi) next Sunday are still running.

How to learn about all these markets?

I know the one at Times Square, the one in Bastakia, the ones organized by the single schools, etc, but I would like to learn more, because these are wonderful places where to find original products and great deals!

Any idea how to find them out?

 There is this very famous Flea Market which happens in Safa Park every friday and you can get great deals at cheaper price.

Kindly visit their website for more details 

Hope this helps!

Thank you!

I went to the Flea Market, but I would love to visit more art and crafts bazaars.

I have just received this below mail and would like to share it with you:

Art and Craft Fair Bazaar at Sheraton Abu Dhabi Hotel & Resort

Sell / Buy your own handicrafts collection and antiques during one - day “Summer Charity Arts & Crafts fair” which will be staged by Sheraton Abu Dhabi Hotel & Resort in cooperation with UNICEF to the children in the street in Egypt, on 5 July from 10.00 am till 8.00 pm at Arzanah. Ballroom.

Looking forward to hearing from you

If you haven't been to the Antiques Museum in Al Quoz you should check it out. It's not a museum at all but a labyrinthine warehouse which sells all kinds of arabic lanterns, indian furniture, wooden ornaments, decorative bowls, lamps, vases, pashminas, throws etc. They also sell some bizarre giant carved wooden animals, and offer a picture framing service. Everything is a bit dusty, but that just adds to the Aladdin's cave experience, and the warehouse will be pretty hot by this time of year.

Be prepared to haggle - the more you buy the bigger the discount.

The website seems to be down at the moment: www.fakihcollections.com so I'll try to give you directions... from Sheikh Zayed Road, take the Times Square Center exit heading into Al Quoz. At the traffic lights turn left, and take the second road on your right (just before the blue Kanoo building); finally take the first right. It will look as though you're heading down a deadend but you should see the parking for the Antiques Museum on the right. Give them a call if you get lost, they're very helpful: 04 347 9935.
