Blue Souk in Sharjah

The Blue Souk (souk is the Arabic word for market) in the center of Sharjah has plenty of silver and gold shops. The interior of the Blue Souk is not so fancy as the glittery shopping malls in Dubai but prices are also much lower. For some reason, certain jewelry stores have been named after countries. I was surprised to find even a jewelry shop named after Bulgaria, the country where I was born. The shop is Indian owned though, I think.
