Immerse yourself in a walking tour of Souq Waqif, "Standing Market" in Arabic. It has been a trading hub for over a century, originally serving Bedouins who came to trade livestock, spices, and textiles.
Restored to its glory, the souq underwent a major restoration in 2006 to preserve its traditional Qatari architecture, featuring mud-rendered buildings, wooden beams, and narrow alleyways.
It’s Car-Free! – The souq maintains its traditional feel by restricting vehicles, making it a pedestrian-friendly zone where people can stroll comfortably.
It’s one of the best places in Doha to experience authentic Qatari culture, shop for souvenirs, and enjoy a traditional Arabian atmosphere! Have you been there recently?
