Shopping at Muttrah Souk was a bit over the top, the hawking and the heat made for a very chaotic walk. It was impossible to just browse in peace so we cut it short. This time of year, we’re told that the souks are filled with junk from China, and it looked like it. There’s also a huge market here, and in Istanbul, for fake luxury items. Kuwait also sold fakes in 2022 when we stumbled upon a cramped little market, but they’ve stopped those sellers for now. The resort has 2 very nice souks with a great selection of pashmina and beautiful Persian rugs.
