Gudia International

Gudia International is located at Mannady Street, right in the Hawwa Complex. We are at shop number 109, but the building uses both old and new numbers so it can be a bit confusing for people finding us for the first time. The street is incredibly narrow and always packed with people, bikes, and carts. It’s loud and busy from morning until night. Our shop is small, and we have to use every inch of space to store our goods. We deal with international items, so we are often looking at shipping labels and tracking packages. The shelves go all the way up to the ceiling. We have a tall ladder we use to reach the stuff at the top. It’s a bit dusty in here because of all the boxes, but we try to keep it tidy. We don't have air conditioning, just a couple of wall fans that struggle in the summer heat. Most of our day is spent talking to customers who squeeze into the shop or handling the logistics of getting goods from one place to another. We don't use any fancy sales talk. We just tell people what we have and how much it costs. It’s a straightforward way of doing business in a very traditional part of town.
