Souq

These are the pictures form when we visited the souq!  I didn't take too many pictures because it was absolutely insane.  You can find anything there!  There is tons of fabric, you can have jewelry and suits and pretty much anything hand-made for you.  I tried some Indian candy that was warm and orange... it tasted sweet like honey yet, had a sweet and sour sauce flavoring to it!  We were in the souq for about an hour and every single one of us was dripping with sweat.  There are so many people in such small areas and the cars drive right on through!  Close enough that three inches more to one side or the other and they would be running over your toes.  Nothing stops the drivers in Bahrain.  I plan to go back to the souq many times.  It is rich with culture and has tons of things to buy!  I was also amazed by the spices!  They were in mountains and I want to try each on its own! Ah! so excited to return.

 This is the entrance into the souq... definitely not the crazy part of it. I did not take a good picture of the life of the souq but hopefully I will remember to next time.  While I was in the crazy part, every time you look into a store or glance towards a seller they are pushing items towards your face or inviting you in.  It's truly an experience that cannot be fully explained.

 This is a common store in the souq which makes abayas.  I took a picture of it because of the five point crown.  I love my ZTA!!!

Here is a better depiction of what the souq is sort of like.  The majority of it does have covers over the street so this is still more open than the souq normally is.
