“Al-Miskiya souk meets the requirements of school and university students as regards books and stationary.
These books are branded as high quality with low price.
Shoes and handicrafts are also displayed for buyers in the souk.
The high season for sellers comes right at the return of pupils to their schools.
The displayed goods, to a large extent, attracted pupils and their parents alike to buy their necessary needs with low prices.
“the market embodies the state of brotherhood among shops’owners.Furthermore, we encourage each other to take benefits of this strategic market ,”another shop owner asserted.
It is worth noting that al-Miskiya souk is located near the most important souk in Syria (al-Hamidiya) and this simply means a merit for buyers who could complete their shopping.
