My friend would like to buy one while she is here, we have tried the Madinat, but the selection is pretty limited, i know the best place is probably in the souks by Bastakiya but I don think I can face the heat or traffic at the weekend :sick: Is there anywhere else that has a good selection? TIA

You could try Pier Import at the Mazaya Centre

Hi Mannikat, If you have the time, car and a map I would recommend you visit the Antiques Museum in Al Quoz. (Google maps will give you the location). Utterly crackers shop with many tiny, rambling rooms. Ask the staff to guide you to the lamps. All prices are 'fixed' but if you buy several items & pay cash, then you can haggle a better deal. I bought 3 Arabic lamps there that hold tea lights. Very pretty. Happy hunting.

It's probably too far for you, but the best/biggest selection and cheapest prices for these lamps are at Dragon Mart. The ones at the 'touristy' spots like Souk Madinat and Souk Al Bahar are a bit overpriced. You can try a shop that sells lights opposite Mall of the Emirates. If you take the MOE exit on to Umm Suqeim road (assuming you are heading towards Dubai), it's on the left side of that road, while MOE is on your right. It's basically on the corner of SZR and Umm Suqeim road. They have a lots of different kinds of lights and the prices are cheaper than in the Souks. Sorry, I can't recall the name. It's possibly Salhiya Lighting, but not sure.

I'm guessing you mean these types of lamps right? http://www.dreamstime.com/royalty-free-stock-photos-turkish-lamps-image2740138 If so, there are a few shops in Souk Al Bahar that sell them.
