There used to be a place along Movenpick Road that sold nice Terra Cotta pots but it seems to have gone anyone any idea I can get some, large ones needed.
Completely off subject but Movenpick Road had it's name changed to Mubarak Touristic Way before the Rev. can remember all the new signs going up is it back to Movenpick Road now or has it officially got another name?

A couple of days I noticed a sign saying Awameya Road. Don't know about the pots, though.

I bought a lot of this man before he moved. Good value for money, but don't make the same expensive mistake that I did. If you are placing plants in them, pay a bit extra for fully glazed ones as after three years the unglazed pots literally turn back to clay. And if you find one you like the look of, give it a hard rap with your knuckles. A tinny sound means stay clear as its a bad firing, a more solid [thunk] sound is a good buy and not good buy to your hard earned cash.

Thats a good tip Dusak. We bought a load a few years ago and many have now begun to break up because they were unfired.
