I've been asked several times by friends in the US and England to bring
along English Islamic books and English Qurans.
and I always have a book stand filled with those books in my office for those who wants a better understanding of Islam

Also Gulf greetings have or used to have those nice traditional magnets and
book markers. I like the camels in there too.

Jalabya, the dress you find in the souqs are good too. And other traditional
outfits you can easily find in the souqs.

My friend’s mother loves to cook, so I gave her an English cook book of
Arabic dishes along with spices and she loved it.

People are also crazy about those gold or silver necklaces with their names
in Arabic and the swirly rings.

Arabic Music, especially the Oud instrument is on demand too.

There is an artist who paints nice Arabic sites. His paintings are always on
demand.
