Arabic term

مغازات

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,

This is from a North African text. What does it mean in this context, please?

It is the description of a roadside.

البعض الآخر يبيع الحُلي والسجاد والفواكه الجافة، مغازات وجملة من مقتعدي الطرقات والسياح يغزون المكان

So ____ and a group of roadside squatters?

Thanks!

Saliha18 If you leave it to the community a lot of them will not be rewarded. Just choose the best and give it the 4 points.
Saliha18 (asker) Nov 2, 2023:
I apologise for this. Heba kindly pointed this out to me too. I'm very grateful to the community here, and for future answers would it be better if I leave it to the community to award the points? I'm happy to do whatever works best for those answering.
Lamine Boukabour Nov 1, 2023:
Saliha Just three points, as usual. I apologize, but it feels like my efforts to assist you are not being fully appreciated.

من السياق يتضح أن بعض التجار ييعون في متاجر ويبيعون أيضاً جملة. لذا، يستنتج أن البيع في المتاجر يكون بيع تجزئة للسياح والسائرون في الطرقات
