上回講到手工精緻的木籃子,是從當地市集看到的。 " سوق " , pronunciation : souk or souq。 阿拉伯語是市集的意思。 他們所謂的市集一般在中東各國都不難找到,通常更是熱門旅遊景點: 阿曼Muscat 有Muttrah Souq , 卡塔爾Doha有 Souq Waqif,阿聯酋Dubai 有Deira Souk,巴林Manama 有Manama Souq 等等。 中東市集裡林林總總的貨物都可找到,特別是香料、乾果、當地食品、布料、衣物等等,當然不可少的就是更多手工精緻並附有阿拉伯色彩的飾物、擺設、傢俱等。 The delicate wooden basket could be easily found in local market. Souq is always a popular tourist location in every Middle East country: E.g Muttrah Souq in Muscat- Oman, Souq Waqif in Doha - Qatar, Deira Souk in Dubai - The United Arab Emirates, Manama Souq in Manama, Bahrain. etc. Different types of goods are available in the souq, especially spices, dry fruits, local delicacy, clothing etc. Last but not least, Arabic style ornaments, accessories and furniture.
