To the Souq for Arab Thobes

After a quick breakfast of an egg and cheese sandwich and some tea, we headed over to the souq again to pick up some souvenieres and some thobes (Arab robes).  The shamal winds have died down a little bit and we finally saw the sun today...

Our waitress took our photo at breakfast this AM:

We are looking like Arab millionaires!!


It's amazing the way ultra modern skyscrapers can blend in with a centuries old market society...


Here are those same towers last night with in a shamal sandstorm, reminds me of blizzard photos:
