Qatari Traditional Clothing - Girls and (Guys) souq visit - Xena Wrote This!

See my new thread titled 'Thobe Shopping", all the details are there for gents to join us on Saturday night.

I made a mistake and placed it under Qatari Culture and not as a socialising topic, so it might be that some people have missed it...

Apologies, but now you know where to look.

hey i'd love to go and see the souq.. but excuse me is it stil considered a "Girls and (Guys) souq visit "as u mentioned first xena or it might turn to be a girls trip ?! whats in ur mind girls?

I think you're right Xena :-)

About my beloved uncle :-) , well I'm sure he'd love to come along but I'll get my cousin instead hehe. Poor Fahad he just doesn't speak enough English you know (not yet). So he won’t be much of a help. Fahad you’re the best, man :-) Get me right ;-)

Let's know first wether the gents are coming or not. My cousin is a 22 year-old Qatari man. You'll like him. And my younger brother Muhammed will come as well looool seems like I'll bring the whole family hehe

Gosh I'm so excited!

joining us on Saturday evening at 6pm at the souqs.... Best place to meet will be behind Souq Waqif, in the parking lot at the back. Thats where all the traditional clothing shops are.

Is that right, Aisha?

Aisha.... you are the guide on this expedition... we have some gents joining us I think so could you organise for your uncle Fahad to join us and help them with their purchases...

sorry, its been a nightmare logging in here the last two days...

firstly, yes it should have read Saturday 31st March, my humble apologies...

Secondly, it would seem like the majority are looking at the afternoon visit. So lets make it at 6pm, then anyone who works on Saturdays, will be able to make it to....

Aisha... you getting any of this?

we havent heard from Aisha can yuo make it hun?

I say 5:00. I would like to thank you ladies for such an idea. My wife has been bugging me for the last month to go Abaya shopping. I think this will spur me into action :-). It will also save me from the dreaded "how does this look questions" and sitting impatiently on the stool by the door. I can go drink tea and eat kababs in peace

Act your age not your shoe size

If it comes to voting, i'll go with the afternoon, 5 is nice time. so let's have everyone say when is better for them and as stated before, majority wins! who'll do the counting? :))

ps yes, a day without QL was sad, but on the otherhand, i got to do some acctual work! :))

what time shall we go? i thinking maybe five would be better now for peoples! i couldnt get on ql all day yesterday was ever so sad!

or i can go in the afternoon - i'm flexible that way...and in other ways too! :-) sorry - just had to throw that in.

and yes, the saturday in question would be the 31st.

let's all get qatarised!

Qatari, QL was not accessible the whole day!!!

"RESPECT BEGETS RESPECT"

I'd really want to join but the 9AM sked not possible for me. can we do it around 5PM if 6:30PM is kind of late? Souqs opens around 4PM, right?

So please, please, please....with cherry on top? ;-)

"RESPECT BEGETS RESPECT"

the first is a sunday!! Our bad! lets make it the 31/03/07 - as i guess most of us will be working on the sunday!

So 9.00 AM or 6.30 Pm?? The majority will win i guess Xena help me out here! I would rather do 9.00 AM but can do 6.30 if everyone rather!!!!

9am or 6:30pm.. It sounds like a great way to meet some people and have some fun..

assume nothing

True that 9:00 AM is a bit harsh for most of us (speaking of myself right now).

Charmed can't you change it? I'll be glad to meet some QL people ;)

Saturday 31 March?

I'm going to try and be there. :)

i am probably out of my zone here today.......but isnt 1st april a sunday?

31st march is a saturday.let me read the original post again...like i said.....me and my zone out;-D

happy heart

drive safe because someone is waiting for you at home

will a macdonalds do for you truth?

happy heart

drive safe because someone is waiting for you at home

but then im probably driving Charmed so no way of escaping this really...is there a starbucks close by!!!

We came we saw we were Qatarized

Any time is ok for me so just tell me where i need to be and when and i'll be there!

If its saturday morning then I'll join for sure. Not that I need qatari clothes (although an abaya must be a great way to hide my big pregnant belly!) but I always enjoy visits to the souqs.

See you there, hopefully xxx

6.30pm, as the souqs are open till about 8pm...

the majority will rule unfortunately....

Aw...shucks... :-(
