The Souk Qaryat Al Beri

The stalls at this souk, situated across the creek from the Grand Mosque, sell local crafts and handiwork; there is also a shop here that sells prints by local artists. For a change of pace, take an abra (a traditional open-sided boat) from the souk over to the Ritz-Carlton for high tea, or around the tip of the island to the Eastern Mangroves Hotel for tea in the Mangroves Lounge.
