Iranian Market

Today is the Muslim Sabbath, which is the one day off for most people who work in Bahrain. Schools, government offices, banks, and some shops are closed. But most markets and restaurants are open. We went to the Isa Town Market this morning, also called the Iranian souk, because many of the shopkeepers are Persian. There is a large secondhand market there.

You will see just about anything for sale there. From clothing to the kitchen sink .....

The black moving objects on the right are two women shopping.

To a man selling pebbles .......


To a variety of fruit and vegetables. The oranges are wonderful for juicing.


Many different nationalities of vendors and shoppers were in the market today. I hope to capture the sounds of the market one day.
