WHAT NOT TO MISS

Experience the diversity and culture of Iran with a treasure trove of traditional handicraft items such as mosaic lamps, enamel wall plates, wooden jewellery boxes, trinkets, coffee pot sets and other curios at the Craft House. A smaller collection of Turkish and Indian handicraft items are also available here.

For an organic range of Japanese tea including the famed matcha powder and Genmaicha, head to the Sencha Green Tea store. You can also find rose, grapes and white peach flavoured green tea. Handcrafted Japanese teapots in prices ranging from Dh110 to Dh260 make for a great buy.

If all that shopping makes you feel peckish, head straight to Paluto Restaurant by Chef Boy Logro or Yahya Seafood where you can hand over your cleaned seafood and have it grilled or fried and served with your marinade of choice. The lemon-herb sauce at Paluto is highly recommended. Alternatively, you can also choose from an a-la-carte menu. Or is it tea that you crave for a quick perk up? Or coffee? Cannot make up your mind? Then, the signature half coffee and half tea drink at CoffeeTea Fusion Café is what you need. Drink the top layer of tea first followed by the coffee at the base, or swirl up the concoction to savour the heavenly blend.

Catch the scene at a spirited lively auction from 11pm to 5am where restaurants, supermarkets and fish vendors vie for best prices for the day’s fresh offerings.
