Souq Waqif Market

Qatar, Doha
An original market located in the historic center of Doha. It was founded at least a hundred years ago. In 2003, most of the market was destroyed by fire, but thanks to the efforts of the authorities, three years later, Souk Waqif was completely restored. The market is a building in a traditional Qatari style with many shopping arcades. There are cafes and restaurants here. A very popular place among locals and tourists. In the market you can buy not only spices, but also handicrafts, national clothes and various souvenirs. It is believed that only here you can feel the true oriental atmosphere of Qatar, which combines the features of architecture, culture and trade.

In whatever country our tourist would not be, everywhere he goes to the market. In Doha, the market - the highlight of the city - has been around for many years. Only here you can feel the atmosphere of the real ancient East. Narrow streets, old buildings, local Arab sellers of all sorts of things. In the morning, unlike our markets, everything is closed here. And after dinner, everything begins to move, to come to life. Friday is a day off. There are exchange offices and cafes. You can buy everything, even a running camel and a falcon for hunting.
