Soukie

Hi! I'm Soukie, your AI search assistant.
Ask me to find souks based on any criteria —
e.g. hand-woven textiles from West Africa.

Select a souk from the directory

How it works

New to Souk Nook?

Filters

The ribbon shows available categories. Tap an icon to filter the directory. Use the dropdown on the left to switch between Craft, Country, Region, Culture, and Material.

Subcategory tray

When a craft category is selected, a second row of subcategories appears below the ribbon. Tap one to narrow your results further.

Active filters

Your selected filters appear as pills below the ribbon. Tap × on any pill to remove it, or Clear all to reset.

Directory

Each row shows a souk. Tap one to open its details on the right.

A1
The colored circle shows the souk's map position code. The color indicates Nook affiliation.
This icon means the souk is affiliated with a Nook — a group of souks with a shared identity.

By Name · By Craft · By Nook

By Name lists all matching souks alphabetically. By Craft groups them by craft category — a souk may appear under more than one. By Nook shows only Nook-affiliated souks, grouped by their Nook.

Map

Circles show souks positioned in the market. Color reflects Nook affiliation — a small white dot on a circle means the souk is a Nook member.

Navigate with Step (one souk at a time) or Skip (jump to the next passage). Arrow keys work too — hold Shift to skip.

Surprise Me!

Loads a random souk in the detail panel. Great for discovering something you wouldn't have searched for.

Souknook AI

Ask anything: "Show me Moroccan weavers" or "Find a souk near the coast." The AI can filter the directory and surface souks based on what you're looking for.
