chosen: Haggling prices is a common practice in the Middle East as a way of negotiating a better deal. It is especially used in markets, souqs, and stores that cater to local customers where price flexibility is part of the culture. Bargaining can help customers save a significant amount of money by making traders lower their prices. It is also seen as a form of flattery when customers try to negotiate a lower price compared to the fixed one.
