Souk is actually an Arabic word, which stands for the market or a place where any kind of goods are brought or exchanged. In the past Arabic shipping vessels that come from the Far East, China, Ceylon and India drop off their cargo brought from the places on to the docks. These cargoes would actually be bargained over in the souks which are usually located near the docks.

Now these souks have modernized and caved way to a multistory shopping malls which come with air-conditioning. You can get the latest gadgets and designer apparels but there are still ‘souks’ that have conserved their traditions in which you can find in Dubai.
