Tourism & Travel / Itinerary for Trip in Morocco
Spanish term or phrase: soukors
I have put this in Spanish-English because the main text is in Spanish, although I suppose the origin of this word is Arabic. I know (or think!) that "souko" is "warehouse", but then this appears, - here's the context and TIA!
"Este trayecto nos permitirá descubrir el esplendor palmeral del río Draa, con sus más de 150 km. de palmeras en línea , la fabrica de Ceramica y La bibliotheca coranica de Tamgounite , y finalmente el pueblo Beduino de Rissani ,antigua capital económica y primera ciudad imperial del Marruecos, con su gran souko bajo las arcadas rojas y de sus numerosos *soukors*"
