Cheap n Cheerful Carpets
Only place I know is the souq half way to Fujairah. Anyone know if they'll be open tomorrow (Friday) morning?
Also, any other recommendations? And I mean cheap. |
Re: Cheap n Cheerful Carpets
Do you mean the Friday Market at Masafi? Normally open Friday morning but don't know about during Ramadan.
Have you checked out Carrefour or HyperPanda? They normally have a good selection of cheap rugs. |
Re: Cheap n Cheerful Carpets
Carrefour and Giant have a good selection :thumbsup:

Wasn't impressed with Carrefour: the one I got at Masafi (if that's where it was) was real silk (no, I don't believe it either), about 2m x 1m, which I haggled down to AED 150. Anyone know how you can tell if its silk or polyester? |

Re: Cheap n Cheerful Carpets
BB - you can get the same carpets you are talking about at Mina Souk AD and they are made in Belgium! Also the Coop at Mina has a very good carpet place - some cheap and cheerful too.
