A variety of goods such as leather goods, jewelry, textiles, spices and more are traded in the bazaars, which is a covered market. Bazaars are usually large and complex with many lanes and shops. A souq is usually an outdoor market where traditional goods and food are sold. Souqs are usually located in historic parts of cities and are known for their stalls selling spices, dried fruits, carpets and other traditional goods. Nowadays, of course, even these traditional bazaars have added electronics, cheap trinkets from China and souvenirs for tourists.
