Gold Souqs:
There are gold souqs and gold shops, which both buy and sell gold, in most of the shopping areas in Kuwait. Jewelry styles are mainly Arabic, Indian (which is very popular in Kuwait) and Italian.
Traditional Open Air and Friday Markets:
The souq area in central Kuwait City retains some of its covered streets and passageways, lined with stalls and shops. Several open air Friday markets, called Souq Al-Juma'a, operate from early morning until evening on that day, selling everything from second-hand furniture and clothes to carpets and antiques, as well as livestock of various types. Major Souq Al-Juma'as are in Al-Rai just off the 4th Ring Road, in Jahra and in Fahaheel.
