Unexpected Souq (market) It’s amazing place hangout in Qatar I walk two days there it’s amazing street souq sells traditional garments, spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs. It is also home to restaurants and shisha lounges. The original building dates back to the late 19th to early 20th centuries in a traditional Qatari architectural style. Try transit Qatar airways spend hours or day there its wroth it #qatar #qatarairways #souqwaqif Metro available from airport Qatar international airport to Masheireb then change metro to Souq Waqif (30-40mins) maximum below 2$ #gowithtrip.com

On the way from UAE back to Europe we didn’t miss the chance to get stopover for 24 hours in Doha, capital of Qatar We picked hotel in old city, near ancient market Souq Waqif is a beautifully re-created traditional marketplace in the center of Doha not far from the Corniche. The original souq which dated back to the 1800s was destroyed in a fire in 2003 but was rebuilt in 2006 and has an authentic look and feel. There are shops inside and out selling clothing, jewelry, spices, animals and crafts. It is a great place to pick up a souvenir. I enjoyed this so much more than the grittier souq in Dubai where the vendors were aggressive and annoying. Minimal pressure in the Souq Waqif. This is also a great area to have a meal with many different restaurants to choose from. It's a vibrant place and even more enjoyable after dark#doha

#winhkflight Our flight from Doha to Malaysia was delayed and we decided to join the four hour tour organised by Hamad International Airport during our layover in Doha. The experience was immaculate! The tour was easily accessible and seamless, we board on the bus with other tour mates and the tour guide was professional as well! One of the stop, which was Souq Wadif, Bounded by Al-Souq Street and Grand Hamad Street was amazing! It is located in the heart of Doha, Qatar, and it is a historic marketplace that offers visitors a glimpse of the traditional Arabian culture. The alleys were ancient and unique, bustling vibes with stalls selling spices, textiles, handficrafts, food stores. Such an eye opening experience, would recommend if you ever have a longer transit period in Doha! I wish to travel to Hong Kong for the food!

It was good to be back in #doha for a day trip during my last transit through #qatarairways I landed about 7am in the morning at Hammad International Airport Doha, got an Uber to the hotel! Rested for 3 hours and straight went to the first Attraction ~ Souq Waqif, there are so many food options, cultural attractions, local shops for buying souvenirs and to enjoy the traditional food/tea/coffee. After exploring Souq Waqif and having a scrumptious lunch, we walked towards the #dohaharbour to see the high-rise buildings view of the city center, after clicking some pictures there took another Uber to the city center and did some shopping before going back to the airport.

If you are ever in Qatar, this is a must visit tourist attraction! Souq Waqif reflects the rich middle eastern culture one expects, full of magnificent middle eastern buildings and a bustling market filled with spices and items that stops you at every corner. At night, the market comes to life with many locals and foreigners visiting Souq Waqif to purchase goods and visit the many famous restaurants over at the market place. I was fortunate to get my hands on Lebanese and Egyptian food during my visits there and it did not disappoint! All the meats that I ordered (Lamb, Chicken and Beef) were all super tender while the rice that was served was rich in flavor. Hopefully one day I’ll be back! #qatar #Souq Waqif #middle_east

The shining jewel of Qatar, Doha is a multicultural city, home to most of the country's population as well as expatriate communities from a range of origins. Shopping abounds in the city's plentiful malls, while the Corniche impresses visitors with picturesque architecture and dazzling views of the harbor. Doha boasts myriad cultural facilities, including the futuristic Education City and the National Museum. With one of the most stunning skylines anywhere—glass towers twist, turn, and defy gravity—Qatar's capital city of Doha gives an unforgettable first impression. Everything you see was built after 1971, when this former pearl-fishing village became the capital, so it looks like a movie set in the not-too-distant future. The National Museum of Qatar and the Museum of Islamic Art are architectural masterpieces. Soccer is the favorite local sport, closely followed by shopping. There are massive malls filled with luxury-seekers, but don’t miss the simple stalls at Souq Waqif. Outside city limits, Doha dissolves into desert, popular for sandboarding and other sports. On a peninsula extending into the Persian Gulf, Qatar is ringed by snowy white beaches, many an easy drive from Doha. I love Doha QATAR 🇶🇦. best Fifa World Cup presentation is Doha QATAR.

On a day when the temperature soared to 38 degrees, I took a tour of downtown Doha. Fortunately, it wasn't humid! Souq Waqif Market is closed during the hot daytime and opens slowly at 4pm. 🐦 There's also a bird market. A place that looks like Aladdin!

the Souq Waqif Art Centre showcases the works of local and visiting artists, all available for sale. Workshops surround the exhibition space, and it is possible to take an art class or watch artists at work.

It is a must see during a visit in the city of Doha as it is one very old arabian market with old buildings and hundreds of shops that you can find everything from souvenirs to food and even furniture. It is very easy also to visited by metro. The atmosphere is nice and the staff in most shops is very welcoming. Don't forget bargain the prices as you can achive far better prices than the ones you see although some things are a little bit overpriced. The only annoying thing is the thousands of people going around, some of them very rude especially on night time. #givethanks #givethanks

The most worthwhile place for a day trip to the city of Qatar: Wajif Old Market This is the oldest commercial street in the area, should be considered the most grounded place here? The entire market is surrounded by a row of buildings resembling the old city walls. There is almost an hour here, you can hang out, you can buy souvenirs, you can also buy food. There are many souvenir shops in the market. I especially like the exotic lights, which reminds me of the Aladdin lamp when I was a child. Such a shop may be suitable for portraits. The streets of markets are always very lively, but if Ramadan comes here, it is very quiet, leaving only the mottled earth walls and the shadows swaying on the walls, as if telling the ancient history here.

The old market of Vachev is quieter than I thought. I thought it was a lively market. It may be because I came here in the afternoon. It was just that there were not many people outside when it was hot. Doha is like this. Dry, basically no one on the road, in the evening or at night, will come out for a walk, never sleep, I think it is the most appropriate expression here. There are not many people in the market. Occasionally there will be a group of pigeons that suddenly fly up. It always feels very spectacular. In terms of the pigeons, this is the most realistic rhythm of life. Sometimes I will be particularly contradictory. When I walk into the market, many uncles, grandpa will smile at me and talk to me. I just politely smile back, maybe they are not malicious but just passionate, and I am out of friends. Reminder, I had to smile a little. Bird market has gathered a variety of birds, can see a lot of such grandfather sitting and talking and laughing, time is here, it is probably a pleasant time to chat. Regrettably, there is no chance to go to the hunting market, the classic part of the Arab countries, so I have the opportunity to see it later. In the evening, you can choose to feel the coolness of the outside of the restaurant, chat and smoke, so the Arab rhythm begins. Fanar - Qatar Islamic Cultural Center, you can experience the Islamic culture more deeply. When night falls, it will light up and the night scene is very attractive.

This time, we visit the pearl of the Middle East—Doha, the capital of Qatar, to experience the unique blend of tradition and modernity! 📍Souq Waqif Stroll through this century-old market filled with spices, handicrafts, traditional clothing, and camels, giving you a sense of traveling back in time to experience authentic Arabian culture. 🕌 Islamic Museum of Art Designed by world-renowned architect I.M.

a traditional market Souq Waqif,Doha Qatar

If there’s one place in Doha that completely captures the essence of Qatari culture, charm, and chaos—in the best way possible—it’s Souq Waqif. The moment I stepped into this vibrant marketplace, it felt like I was transported into a different era. The smell of oud and spices lingered in the air, echoing stories from centuries past. Traditional Qatari buildings with their beautifully restored facades lined the narrow alleyways, and every corner revealed a new surprise—be it handcrafted souvenirs, glimmering lanterns, or colorful textiles. I wandered around for hours, getting “delightfully lost” among stalls selling everything from saffron and dates to intricate Arabic perfumes and falcons (yes, actual falcons!). I also stumbled upon live street performances, local artists sketching away, and even saw a few shopkeepers offering Arabic coffee with warm smiles that made the entire experience feel personal and heartfelt. Of course, no visit is complete without indulging in the local flavors. I sat at one of the many open-air restaurants and devoured a generous portion of machboos with grilled meats, followed by karak chai that hit just right. The buzz of conversation, clinking of tea glasses, and distant notes of traditional music created a vibe I didn’t want to leave. Souq Waqif isn’t just a market—it’s an experience. A place where culture, commerce, and community come alive. Whether you’re a foodie, a history lover, or a casual wanderer like me, this place will steal a piece of your heart. #SouqWaqif #DohaDiaries #QatarVibes #MiddleEastWonders #CulturalJourney #TravelWithMe #TripMoments #LostInSouqWaqif #WanderlustQatar #HiddenGems
