If you are a woman stay away from this shop
I was brought to this shop by a young man on the street. He first helped me find the Blue Mosque and was waiting outside for me when I finished viewing the building. He said come see my shop. I thought this was innocent enough but things became more and more stress full for me as the time went on. The first man in the shop used the friendship and compliments galore to get me off guard. I was shown a carpet with a highly inflated price. I was told many lies like this was a merino wool and cotton carpet, hand made, I would get a certificate of authenticity etc.. When I resisted buying another man came over and talked to me saying that the shop owner was a very honest shop keeper and would give me a fair price. He went on an on with the same so called friendly conversation. The banter went on and on to the point that I felt I was not able to leave without some confrontation. I am an elderly woman and I was alone so I felt very vulnerable. I usually am a cautious savvy person but for some reason I was really taken for a ride, somewhat out of fear. I try to be nice to every one so I fell for it. These two men talked consistently that I was overwhelmed and confused. There were several other men in the shop as well and they were positioned where they could possibly block me leaving the store. I was overwhelmingly pressured into buying this carpet. I lost a few nights sleep over al the money I gave them for a carpet that most likely is not wool at all and my sense it comes from China. There was no certificate of authenticity. When it arrived at my home the workmanship is shoddy and I could have gotten this from Amazon for 5% the price I paid them for it. I was really scammed.
