Gift ideas Île D'Abu Dhabi

The Qasr al Watan shop is inside the palace, near the exit before getting back on the bus. Several jewels, beautiful books, camel milk chocolates, some reproductions, souvenir magnets for the refrigerators. But what really gets us excited in this souvenir shop are the postcards which are, without any doubt, the most beautiful we have seen in the Emirates: desert landscapes, monuments, traditional boats.

In the heart of the artisans' house, you will find this wonderful shop selling souvenirs made by Emiratis. Pouches, bookmarks, wallets woven according to the traditional sadu method, but also basketry made from palm leaves, not forgetting the teli, woven gold and silver threads. Everything is made locally, even the souvenir bags. We like everything all the more because it is rare, if not impossible, to find this kind of shop in the capital. The fruit of the sales goes to the women who have formed a cooperative.
