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.

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