Markaz

Also called "Markaz", this store can be difficult to find. It's located at the very end of Rd. 233...just look for a building with a solid BLACK door. Markaz is filled with two levels of hand-crafted items from artisans around the world. I enjoy shopping here as the staff lets me browse on my own. Prices are on the higher end, but again, these are all hand-made items. The quality is excellent, store is bright and clean and instead of using plastic bags, Markaz puts your items in a nice cloth bag for you to keep. There is something unique for everyone... stationary, coin purses, dolls, tablecloths, bedspreads, pillows, jewelry and pottery. The only problem I find is parking (might be easiest to take a taxi or walk if you live close by).
