Souq means market and what better than to bargain-hunt for than good old gold? The gold souk is apparently world-famous (though I had never heard of it before I started doing researcho n Dubai...) and people come from all around to haggle over all this jewelry. You can have something designed for you or you can buy what is available. There are seriously streets of shops like these above.
Did you buy any gold?? All shops in Ethiopia are "sooks" too, from their arabic ties.
