Next up, cross creek by traditional boats called Abra's to reach the souk - which is the Arabic word, which stands for the market or place where any kind of goods are brought or exchanged. Traditionally, Arabic shipping vessels discharge their cargos on the docks, which would be bargained over in the souks adjacent.
