Why in souks and other bazaars, whose existence spans the centuries, do we often find shops and stores which sell the same product—for instance, carpets, material or gold—grouped together?
The old section is filled with bazaars and souks nestled along narrow streets.
A shop at the souk sells tagines cooked over kanounes (cauldrons).
The small souk in the middle of the town offers various shops selling local crafts and inexpensive goods.
The souks are home to more than 200 shops, a department store, and a handful of cafes and restaurants.
There is a souk bus station with buses daily to most major cities.
Sales were held in public places or in souks.
The souk consists of over 300 retailers that trade almost exclusively in jewellery.
