Let's Haggle
You've got to see this market! Here in Bahrain it's called a souk. There are different souks for different things. At the east end of Manama, is a souk for fresh vegetables and fruits. These are sold in large quantities - kind of like Sam's Club - but much fresher. Yummy softball sized peaches are just dripping with juice. Fresh dates are very soft and sweet - and cheap.
There's another souk near the Diplomatic Area. There's miles of fabrics with different textures, ready-made clothing, and mink blankets. Mink blankets are not made from animals, but they are thick, soft, and very warm. And while you're shopping, you can even get your car washed for a dollar.
Smell that? Those are spices. 
Ohhh! They're quite pungent, aren't they?
Want to see the gold souk? 
Just about all of it is 21k gold, and you can get any color gold you'd like, any gem stone or pearl. Like custom jewelry? If you can imagine it, the merchants here will make it for you, and deliver if necessary.
