The Blue Souk (also known as Central Souq or Souq Al Markazi) is Sharjah's biggest and busiest, with a variety of shops and stalls selling all sorts of handicrafts, clothing, carpets, jewellery and souvenirs. For those not shy to haggle, the souq is a great place to go for bargains—original prices may often be brought down significantly with the right level of persistence.

Shopping
The unmissable shopping venue in Sharjah is the covered Central Souq, also called 'Blue Souq' for the sky-blue colour of its domes. This souq is Sharjah's largest and busiest and sells a variety of items ranging from local handicrafts and rugs to gold and jewellery. There are, however, quite a few modern malls in and around Sharjah. These sell items at a fixed price, and often house entertainment centres and even amusement parks.
