One would generally concern a ‘souk’ or marketplace to be filled with the traditions of years long gone by. A feature of the Middle East, these markets are well known around the world for selling a wide variety of spices, clothes and what not. However when one observes the setting of the Muwajei Souk which is situated in Abu Dhabi, a more modern appearance would greet you and your loved ones and you step inside this fascinating marketplace.
An assortment of handy shops is found along a lengthy strip selling almost everything that you would want. If travelling with the kids, then pay a visit to the toy shop where the little ones are sure to find something of interest to them. Affording one the flavours, sights and sounds of Abu Dhabi, the souk further lays claim to popular brands ranging from The Body Shop, Shoe Mart and even Choithram that are must-visits. Muwajei Souk features a bakery where freshly baked breads and an array of other goodies can be picked up while you sort your way through the hustle and bustle often found here. An excellent choice in terms of accommodation would be Anantara Al Yamm Villa Resort which is rated among the finest of luxury hotels in Abu Dhabi to come home to after one’s time at the souk is done.
