The security to get into this global boutique may be stricter than that to get on an international flight, but once you're safely ensconced you'll have access to a wealth of products, all organized by country. Each display houses its nation's claim to fame, like Victorian-style garnet jewelry ($40--$400) from the Czech Republic, Technicolor hand-blown glass vases ($33) from Poland and flamenco dancer figurines ($104) from Spain. Brand names have no significance to Hanaa Shoukry, the enthusiastic Director of Purchasing and Merchandise, who hand-selects each item based on history, tradition and culture.
