The trekker should be equipped with some essential elements such as trekking boots,sleeping bags,jackets,earplugs and many equipments should we kept with us while preparing to trekking. I am also searching for the best shop for the availabilities of these trekking equipments.

I bought a back pack from Souq Asiri for 180 riyals. Held everything that I needed. Bought a sleeping bag from City Centre for 65QR and the moment I used it, I started regretting my decision. I was still dead freezing.

I am paralysed from one lower limb, so I had to carry what I was able to carry and most of the time the stuff I took with me thinking that I might need it sometime later on was not even used. So the next time I go, I will just take myself and some extra cash with me as everything is available wherever you go. I went to Pakistan to the Karakoram and crossed over to China. The best trip of my life and I will be going back again. Visit Hunza in Pakistan and Karakul Lake in China when you go there and make your way to east to Tibet. Its amazing.

sleeping bags that you buy here wont work there coz its winter season in the himalayan region and you need small, and light sleeping bags that can withstand temperatures upto -10 degree celcius or more.

I doubt you will find what are you looking for.

Sleeping bags are available but you might need to have at least 3 season for winter hike. Trekking sticks and some good stuff is available in the new sports shop in Villagio, near food courts. Expensive shop but some good stuff is there.

If you are not able to find good clothing, go with the layers. The best thing (if you can find) is breathable wind breaker/rain jacket.

I do not remember the name exactly but there is a shop at 3rd floor I think. You can find pants, bags, shoes and such stuff there. They sell nice stuff like Columbia, Titanium, etc.. but its hard to find sizes sometimes. The shop is beside Timberland.
