Masks

Post new topic

I'm guessing the answer is going to be try the souk, but I'll ask anyway.

Does anyone know where I can find masks? As in ancient ritual/ceremonial masks. I know they were not as common in Middle Eastern history as they were in other cultures, but they did exist. Failing any of Middle Eastern style, how about African or Asian masks?

Inexpensive copies based on traditional masks would be fine. I don't need any antiques or rare items.

Thanks.

Thanks.
But I didn't mean to actually wear. I meant as a collectible item.
As a general examples, something like these:

If you tried the souq than next place I can think about is adlyia and there is one shop maybe it is still open in budyia

Also try the Khazana shop in Juffair - near Mega Mart. Maybe a bit pricey though.
