Market Stall in the Souk at Aswan in Egypt #220805452
Description
At one time, souks were more than just a market to buy and sell goods; they were also major festivals and many cultural and social activities took place in them. In a souk, the final price of an item is reached by bargaining with the shopkeeper. Traders of a given commodity would all sell in the same souk, thus ensuring a competitive market.
