Was agreeing with tauvon, but proz wouldn\'t give me enough room for the definitions, so here they are: A market consisting of a street lined with shops and stalls, especially one in the Middle East.
A shop or a part of a store in which miscellaneous articles are sold.
A fair or sale at which miscellaneous articles are sold, often for charitable purposes.

Explanation:
I find at least *some* evidence of this possibly being accepted Red Cross terminology (see page 3 of the web reference pdf below). Certainly sounds good... :)
