Sharjah's Central Market is the city's most famous landmark. The intricate blue tile work on the exterior has given it the nickname the Blue Souk. There are over 600 shops inside, where shoppers will find sections devoted to gold and jewellery, perfume, clothing, food, electronics and gift-type items. The upper floor has the atmosphere of an authentic Arabian bazaar with vendors selling antiques, carpets, Omani and Yemeni jewellery and all sorts of other exotic souvenirs.
