20 years old Al Fakhir pottery works based in Dhaid right before Siji. Around 600 pieces of potteries are made in a day by 8 workers who work 8-10hours per day. The pots are made from Terracotta clay, which gets imported from Iran, Pakistan and India, apart from getting some from local(UAE) supply. Clays are well mixed and cleaned before the process of the making starts. After pots getting in shape, they are put into kiln. The kiln used to fire all the pots. Once all the pots have been stacked the entrance of the kiln is sealed with a clay door. It then takes another 24 hours to fire the pots and another 24 hours for the kiln to cool. It is interesting to see the process of creating pottery, from the raw clay to seeing how the pots gets in shape. Prices for these pots range from Dh5 to Dh1000, depending on the size and design. Some of these pots end up at the Friday Market where mainly tourists will buy them.
