My family and I vacationed on Saudi Arabia back in 2000. We looked and looked for locally made items as souvenirs of our trip. Everything was imported. There was zero local industry. I finally picked up a discarded, hand-made camel hobble out of a dung pile. My family gave me a hard time, but hey! It was locally crafted with hand-woven rope and a hand-carved handle! It's now a unique momento hanging on our "travel wall" as a conversation starter.

Last time I was in Jamaica, 95% of the shops were stuffed with Jamaican looking things.. generally all with a "made in china" tag. It is a weird world we live in where even the handcrafted tourist trinkets are imported.
