- Here’s a sneak peak of what you’ll be catching at Qout this Saturday:
Just Bee
Resident Qouter Noor is all about urban beekeeping. You’ll definitely end up gazing at some of her colony on display! Noor has a wealth of information on honey and beekeeping and is a genuine joy to interact with. Noor also knows how to feed bee colonies in the city, and you can watch nervously as she impressively takes care of the bees! Just Bee has also been one of the original Qout vendors ever since its inception, so be sure to check out Just Bee this Saturday.

Premium Jam
Fajer has been a vendor since season three, and every season she comes up with new creations that impress and tantalize the taste buds. Premium Jam will showcase small-batch, vegan, reduced sugar jams, using in-season ingredients in the most creative combinations. Unique flavors from season’s past include spicy balsamic strawberry, blueberry caramelized lemon, spiced saffron apricot, and raspberry-lychee.

Banat Om Soud
This market will feature an especially robust crafts section featuring 20 vendors, who will be selling everything from soaps, fragrances, and body scrubs to antiques, original artwork and beautifully made objects. One vendor of note is the new participant Banat Om Soud, which literally translates as daughters of Om Soud, is run by sisters Sara and Lulu. Featuring plenty of handmade goods, such as their dolls that are proudly made in Kuwait with an Arab identity. Definitely a beautiful and unique gift for the season!
