The title of the shop, located in front of Lulu Hypermarket, pretty much tells it how it is. Axes and camel sticks are available here, together with earthenware pots and other traditional craft items. Within walking distance of Khasab Fort, this attractive shop, with pots dangling in the window, is a good place to hunt for a souvenir.
