If you go to the back of the suq it is still possible to see sights like this. But they are getting rarer and rarer. You just have to go in, get lost and you'll find them. Don't worry about the getting lost bit, it's not that big and someone will always show you how to get out again. Treat it as a maze with a difference.

the sook and the Gold sook:
The Gold Sook is great just cause you see nothing but gold and you can get it for around $12.00 an ounce!

Also the Sook if you can barter you can get some Great deals of some really cool Items

Wooden doors - I took this photo years ago and I'm not sure if it still exists. Having said that it's definately worth a look. As I said before - get lost in the suq and you'll find all sorts.

This minaret is one of the prettiest you'll see. It's behind the Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait in the suq.
