Good to know

  • Like many old downtown shops it closes in the afternoon heat; go mid-morning or after 16:30.
  • The owner, Nadim Baloochi, has lived in Abu Dhabi for almost five decades (The National).
  • Pair it with Cairo Textiles and The Green Branch, two other honoured fabric and craft-supply shops in the same downtown blocks.
