The Souq Waqif is one of the most visited attractions in Doha, both on sightseeing tours and city food tours. You’ll be able to learn more about life in Qatar as you pass by the myriad of stalls, and experience Qatari cuisine at the many surrounding restaurants and street vendors. You can also take a break at local cafes and shisha lounges.
Around the main souq, there are several other markets, including the Falcon Souq and the Gold Souq stocked full of jewelry. Attractions such as the Souq Waqif Art Center, with its ornate woodwork and lanterns, and the unusual Golden Thumb Statue also give this cultural institution an artistic side.
