Arabic term or phrase: مغازات
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!

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
