Clothing, carpets, and handicrafts are available in textile shops like this one in Jeddah. I got a kick out of seeing the handwoven piece of the US flag in the lower left corner - I certainly didn't expect to see something like that here. The other one in the lower middle also made me chuckle because Lebanon is misspelled, something that I found on many carpets and other items in the Turkish-Afghani souk.

Oh... carpets... wonderful handicrafts, my dreams!

does it say "Labenon"
ReplyDeleteYes, it says "Labenon." I saw many textiles there with misspellings on them.
