Al Motahajiba has sleeves and caps.
they have a branch in MOE, Mirdiff City Center, and I think in Wafi too.
Abaya mall in mirdiff has reasonable priced abayas.

keep in mind that prices might be a little higher just before Eid. Also, most places won't be able to finish alterations, or custom orders by Eid as it is short notice.

It's a discount department store full of cheap but very useful tat not found elsewhere! Great place for getting aluminum cooking pots, cheap picture frames (just cut out the ghastly prints within), cleaning towels.

Thanks for the heads-up! I want to try something different from my usual, Golden Chance Abaya in Satwa.

Just bought tons of bandanas in Singapore from Discovery shopping ctr near the Arab Street, but my Singaporean friend tells me I could've bought the same in Naif Souk. Will have to go w/ her one day, then report back on EW!

Hello. You can buy all three abaya accessories at the Bin Sougat Center in Rashidiya. They are sold at the stands, not inside the stores.

i took a friend up and down satwa a few weeks ago - some amazing abay shops and very reasonable.

she bought one for 250 that she then saw in a 'posh' abaya shop in Festival City for 4000 AED!!!! so she was very pleased with our satwa trip

Where can I buy reasonably priced abayas? Without having to circle for hours for parking in Naif Souk?

Where can I buy nice sleeves (preferably black lace) to wear under abayas?
And the head caps at a reasonable price?? and the big flower clips?

Appreciate your help, thanks.
