Visiting Dubai

I was fortunate to be able to visit Dubai during May and took the opportunity to visit the souks. Having toyed with the idea of using silks for some of the scarves I intended to create, the textile souks seemed like the perfect place to purchase some fabric. Exploring the souks in the blistering heat took stamina but the rewards were well worth it; the fabrics, prints and patterns were bold and exotic but I managed to seek out some plain silks at just 30 dirhums as yard (about £5) so I bought both white and a beautiful silvery grey.
