Generally a Souk is a market or a part of a market in an open space that exists especially in North Africa and the Middle East. The idea is having a Souk that opens one day per week for people from all the regions around, on a weekend for example. People bring what they make (Tagines, Tamena, cotton made stuff…) to sell them or whatever they have to sell. It raises the economy of the village and enables people to reconnect and relax while seeing, buying and selling goods.
A Souk or Souq entails the concept of a free market where vendors can command the going market price for their products. The term is often used to designate the market in any Arabized or Muslim city, but in modern times it appears in Western cities too.
It may also refer to the weekly market in some smaller towns where neutrality from tribal conflicts would be declared to permit the exchange of surplus goods. In Modern Standard Arabic the term refers to markets in both the physical sense and the abstract economic sense (e.g., an Arab would speak of the Souq in the old city as well as the Souq for oil, as well as the concept of the free market.
People often don’t find how to let people know that they are making things to sell and raise the economy of the community, or are usually busy during the week and don’t see each other, so the Souk day is a great opportunity for them to socialize and sell their produce.
The idea is having a marketplace available for people to sell their goods or whatever they make while connecting and networking one day per week after long days of work.
