Shop in the souq for a true taste of local life
When travelling abroad, the finest way to sample local life is to do as the locals do. When in middle eastern and northern African countries, that means you need to shop in the souq. The bustling atmosphere and tempting products on offer give you a genuine taste of the neighbourhood.
The souq, or souk, is an Arabic word and has come to mean any local market, whether a permanent fixture or a weekly event. The range of local food items has to be tasted to be believed.
