Souk Al Arsah is the oldest market place in the UAE. Stepping into the souq, you will begin a journey back in time, walk along the narrow pathway and imagine that Bedouins and their camels, merchants from Peris and India were all meeting here, bargaining and trading. The quaint stores sell everything from pearl chests and copper coffee pots to jewellery, perfume bottles and incense. Review the day’s purchases over a cup of Arabic coffee at the café in the centre of the souk, and stock up on delicious sweets at the popular halwa shop.
