Stop At: Souq Waqif, Doha, Qatar
Souk Waqif is one of the most attractive locations in Doha nowadays. Its history goes back many centuries and it’s hard to believe that the capital existed without the market. However, Souk Waqif disappeared some years ago and was re-built in 2004 only. Its construction copies ancient maze-style of authentic oriental trading place.
Visiting the Souk is a brilliant way to feel the unique spirit of Qatar. Watch, bargain and buy souvenirs, traditional clothes, spices and handmade items. Taste unusual food in local restaurants and if you are lucky - catch some musical and dancing performance.
Relax during your free time and take photos with donkeys in traditional eastern saddles and falcons from the unique Bedouin hunting shop. Attend famous shop-museum of antiquities that are not for sale but are free to watch. In addition, walk to the Souk Waqif metro station which is situates 100 meters from the marketplace only.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Al Wakrah Souq, Al Wakrah, Qatar
Al Wakra Souk is located to the south from Doha on the beach. Al Wakra has always been the center of Qatar’s pearl diving. This small village turned into a cultural attraction due to the Wakra’s Development Plan of 2008.
Although its population counts 30000 people only, Al Wakra is considered as one of the largest cities in Qatar. The Soak as a part of the historical territory became available to the public in 2014. Its building combines old-eastern and modern elements and demonstrates the cultural heritage of the ancestors.
Every treasure of Qatar can be found in there but the real pleasure is the opportunity to obtain true peals from the Arabian Gulf. Spend your free time having local dinner in a restaurant on the beach and observing huge old-style ships and boats docked on the seashore.
