Arrived at around 8pm from Paris ,checked into our hotel 'Kingsgate Hotel' a stone's throw away from the Souq and decided to have a look and a bite, were pleasantly surprised to find it buzzing with life! Obviously right time to wander around and have a feed,also noticed that it is closed between 1-4 pm, cannot blame them too hot!... More

This newly renovated, traditional Arabic bazar is a fantastic place for all your needs. From shopping for your daily needs to enjoying a cool nargila (hookah) with good flavored tobacco and a cool refreshing soft drink. Souq waqif is the home of many of the world's cuisines. There are 2 Iraqi restaurants, Egyptian, Moroccan, Lebanese, Yemeni and a very tasty... More

In the cooler months, this is a great place to wander, eat, drink or smoke shisha (hookah) At any time. In summer, it is a good place to go at night. While it will still be hot and sticky, you can have a cold drink and people watch. Very nice!

There are a number of people who have talked about the fakeness of it all but Souq Waqif doesn't claim any history. It was built to maintain a dying style of architecture and it delivers.

I was invited by a friend to have dinner at Souq Waqif, the place is considered the oldest spot in Doha, Qatar. Surprisingly it has so many great restaurants, antique shops and cafes. Totally recommended!
