It's a little late but the Qasr Al Hosn festival had lots of stalls with that sort of thing. It's only once a year though.
I haven't been here, but I found this online: http://middleeasthub.com/abu-dhabi/tourist-attractions/womens-handicrafts-center.html
Hi I am new to this. I was also wondering if there are any good craft markets in Abu Dhabi? Or shops where you can buy handmade or locally made items by local designers.
Thanks for your help
