🧵🛍️ سوق الأقمشة in Bur Dubai, near the historic Dubai Creek, is traditionally known as a hub for textiles and tailoring—but during my visit, I found that the focus has shifted quite a bit. While there are still a few fabric shops offering cotton, silk, and embroidered materials, the textile variety is limited compared to what you’d expect from a dedicated fabric market...
