Doha certainly boasts of its fair share of high-end shopping malls; however, if you’re after a shopping experience with a more authentic feel, Souq Waqif is where you should be.
Shop till You Drop
Whether you’re after embroidered cloaks or traditional scarves, or even pots and pans or other kitchenware, Doha’s ‘standing market’ has certainly got you covered.
Sample New Flavours
If you love cooking and are on the lookout to enhance the flavours of your dishes, then you wouldn’t want to miss the sacks that are brimming with colourful spices at this place. These spices can also be tasted in the dishes offered at the best restaurants in Doha offered by hotels such as Al Najada Doha Hotel Apartments by Oaks.
Hunt for Jewellery at the Gold Souq
Just off the main area of Souq Waqif, one will come across the Gold Souq, which houses 18 to 22-carat jewellery under its roof. Whether you’re searching for high-quality watches, dazzling necklaces, or glittering gems, you’ll find them here.
People Watch During Shisha Time
Smoking shisha is a pastime for many locals in Qatar. And if you book an outdoor table at one of the many cafés available, you’ll be able to drink in the excellent ambience where Qataris enjoy some shisha time.
