<span>A souk is a market or market place in the Arab world. It is
a tradition that people or buyers in the souk must bargain with the shopkeepers
before buying any goods. These kinds of market places are found mostly in the Middle
East countries and Africa. It is an open air market mostly. Previously souks were generally opened outside
the main city where the travelling caravans stopped to collect their necessary
things like food. Souks also became part of major festivals later on. </span>
