This photo is for you Geoffrey - Yemen Honey Centre.
We only went into the shop because Geoffrey had raved about Yemeni honey. We stumbled upon it and thought we would call in. A very small man with a friendly face gave us a tasting - how could we refuse. The honey is incredibly expensive for a small jar but very delicious.





A street shopping scene outside the honey shop. Quite different from the flashy malls. The word for a shopping area is Souqs - as in spooks without the p!.
There are Gold Souqs, silk and fabric souqs, and mixed trader souqs. The old market or traditional Souq is a hive of activity with many alleyways lined with small shops cramped with goods hanging out for display - clothes, carpets, spices, hardware, perfume.
