I’m interested in the similarities and differences of souks and bazaars throughout the ME and N. Africa. So if you have any photos from your nation..please share them here.

I'll start w/ some from Morocco:

Shayan: yup, we're talking about the same thing..so if you have any photos from Iran that'd be cool.

Emirati Girl: Great pics! Exactly what I was looking for.

emirati girl souq jumeirha and central market are not traditional , because they were built just few years ago, as far as i know in dubai there are two main souks ; souk naif and the gold souk

^^ yes u r right casa .. bas shakehom zay el souq al qadeem ^_^ ...lol *_* i forgot the gold souq i'll try to look for it

Emirati_Girl
