The Arab Souk
?No trip to Jerusalem is complete without a visit to the Arab market, or souk.
The souk runs through both the Christian and Muslim Quarters in a maze
of crowded streets, some of them hidden from the sun by buildings that
date back to Crusader days.
For people who live here, the souk is no more exotic than a shopping
mall, a place to buy vegetables, clothes, plumbing supplies, spices,
or fresh meat.?

Bahrain Souk
?The narrow lanes are full of merchants and merchandise with a
combination of tourists and locals jostling for a special find. But
there are still plenty of intriguing alleys and lanes with
bewildering, but impressive, displays of goods. Each lane harbors
shops of a certain specialty: brightly colored materials, gold and
jewelry, spices, sandals, plastic bowls and buckets, metal pots and
pans, money-changers and perfume shops; all have their corner.?

?The Deira Old Souk also known as the Spice Souk sells trinkets,
clothing, rugs, not to mention a vast and colourful array of
seasonings. Other open-air markets include the Gold Souk, where the
craftsmen can create any type of gold jewellery for a price; the
Electronic Souk and the Dubai Souk. Bartering is very much expected
and vendors will often reduce their prices substantially for a cash
sale.?

?The souk of Marrakesh is the vital heart of the medina, the old part
of the city which dates back to the XII century. It is the place where
age-old customs and traditions have been coming together since ancient
times. Originally, souks were divided into various specific sectors
with defined boundaries and with names that reflected the activities
which took place there, but over time these boundaries gradually
disappeared. The souk is a magical and fascinating place where it is
customary to accept the tea that the vendor offers, just as how
bargaining the price of any item for sale is all part of the game; a
place where losing your way is a fun, yet never dangerous experience.?
