<p>[QUOTE="Kate Q, post: 2362361, member: 15622"]There are a few antique-type stores that I've seen, depending on your definition of antique. There are places to look for local pieces, but I'm not sure if those qualify as antiques or more vintage? Lots of traditional old carved wooden doors that have been made into glass-top tables, etc. you can also find khanjars (ceremonial daggers) and I really love the older bedouin-style jewelry... I've found some wooden furniture pieces left out for garbage (damaged) that may be considered vintage -- clearly not "modern". I like to upcycle, so whatever I find like that I bring home and repurpose.</p><p><br /></p><p>Otherwise, because there is such a huge percentage of expats here, you can sometimes find things that people have brought but then decide to sell when they leave, that's another avenue.
