How to properly set up a redirect in nginx?

Question

Nginx

Hello.
There is a url
/souvernirs-for-tourists/ELEMENT_CODE/
I need all urls for this section (souvernirs-for-tourists) to look like this
/souvernirs/ELEMENT_CODE/
How to do it?
And why doesn't it work like this?

location /catalog {
  rewrite ^/catalog/souvernirs-for-tourists/(.*)$ http://SITE-NAME/suveniry/$1 permanent;
}

Thanks in advance for your help!

}
