Central Souk roundabout - Sharjah

This is the roundabout leading to the Sharjah Central Souk just up ahead.

All praises and thanks are to Allaah (subhaanahu wata'aalaa) alone 

Fountain outside Central Souk - Sharjah

This is a fountain just outside the Central Souk in Sharjah. Water fountains and other types of artificial waterfalls are very common in the cities, often used to decorate roundabouts, malls, parks and even airports such as the one in Dubai!

All praises and thanks are to Allaah (subhaanahu wata'aalaa) alone 

Inside Central Souk - Sharjah

This is a view of inside the Central Souk in Sharjah. The hanging flag with red, black, white and green stripes is that of the U.A.E. When it's time to pray, the adhaan is given off quite beautifully and echoes all across the souk.

All praises and thanks are to Allaah (subhaanahu wata'aalaa) alone 

The Central Souk - Sharjah

This is a partial view of the Central Souk in Sharjah - called As-Souq al-Markazi in Arabic (السوق المركزي). It is an indoor shopping center and one of the known markets for buying 'abayas, the other place being outdoors in a different part of the city. However we must warn the sisters not to waste their time searching for over-head jilbaabs, because as surprising as it may sound, they are not typically sold in the country it seems due to the current trend being different, AllaahulMusta'aan, and the one or two you may find will probably not be of the best material. But the good news is that there are plenty of tailors available at low cost but who truly do an excellent job in making just the perfect over-head jilbaabs with the best material if you give them a sample, and they can turn out to be much better than the read-made ones you may buy from elsewhere.

All praises and thanks are to Allaah (subhaanahu wata'aalaa) alone
