Everybody buys abayas

This was taken in the souk, or central market, in Abu Dhabi, which was in a nice building but really seemed more like a souvenir stop for tourists than anything else.

These two women were trying on abayas at this very fancy shop. I must say, they are far more flashy than the ones you find in Riyadh, although I only saw plain black abayas out on the street. One woman lived here, and the other, her sister, was visiting from France (I think).
