A few years back, Ayubia was only a small town with an amusement park, a shoe
store, a small restaurant, and a grocery store. Now the small town has transformed
into an international tourist attraction, attracting thousands of tourists who are
inspired by the lifestyle of Ayubians.

Ali and Ahmad, having grown up within the Ayubians’ faith, decided to take
advantage of their town’s popularity and their woodworking skills. Their shop
“Stylish Wood” began with a small display of handmade hickory rocking chairs, Ali
and Ahmad’s specialty. But within a few months, the display at Stylish Wood
included picnic tables, flower boxes, and small handmade novelty items. No other
shop offers the same.
Ali and Ahmad decorated the shop’s display room with authentic Ayubians
décor and eventually hired three Ayubians friends to sew and embroider napkins
and other textiles as per customer request. Ali and Ahmed are ready to assist in
every phase of the locate-compare-select process. In addition, two women from the
Ayubians community took permission from Ali and Ahmad to display home-cooked
traditional food items on Saturday and Sunday, the town’s busiest tourist days,
when Ayubia attracted group of visitors to its flea market on the south edge of town.
Ali and Ahmad stated, “Ayubia is full of specialty shops, people don’t come here
to buy things made in China or Taiwan. They want real Ayubians -made goods.”
