[Dracheous]

Ghillie, there are 2-3 shops I have seen in the Ottawa area that carry middle eastern styles of wardrobe. Most I've seen are bright "celebration" get ups, however there are always darker colours and most of it is rather cheap, least cheaper than I thought it was going to be when I stopped at them.

Sorry that I can not remember the names, or even begin to pronounce half them. There is one down on Bank st. near Lisgar. This shop carries more nik-nacs as well as swords, blades, jewelry and a hole whack of really need interesting stuff there. Its been a while since I've gone in, but anytime I ventured it was always a welcoming environment and the gentlemen is always happy to point you in the right direction of what your looking for when it comes to middle eastern stuff. I believe the store was called "Tigris". There are others though, always catch glimpses of them driving all over Ottawa lately. But then if you look at the surging population of minorities in Ottawa, its not hard to see why so many lil cultural shops are popping up.
