Malls are of course massively popular across the mega hot Middle East and they are everywhere and often very similar. So it is great to see one with so much character and charm and with a fantastic Italian theme throughout. The stunning shops are what you expect, plus coffee and cake shops as well as restaurants. But you also get a big kids fun fair with loads of rides and activities along with stunning Mediterranean boulevards modelled on glorious Italian architecture. The decorative street feel transports you to the beautiful Italian towns. The sky painted ceilings, dramatic domes, bridges, decorative lighting, fountain and of course the fun and Beautiful canal with Gondola rides are to marvel at. Wonderful! If you visit one Mall in Doha this is it. More clever ideas like this make the Mall experience a day out.

Excellent mall. We went on the gondola which is 10QR each. We then went to the theme park where Mon-Thur 10-2pm you can get a wrist band for 50QR and have unlimited rides, really good value. Has all the shops you can think of and a large food court. Also an indoor ice rink.

Very good shopping experience. Good sized mall with a Venice theme. River in the middle with paid gondola rides. Loads of big brand names to shop from. Also has an indoor theme park which is very good for all ages.

Villaggio is an incredible place. Let me just set this out first, I have no interest in shopping or in malls...and yet thi please just blew me away. It's amazing. It's has to be seen to be believed. There is a canal system running through it complete with gondola! The roof is made to look like the sky and the shops look like pastel coloured Iralianate architecture. It looks for all the world like you are outside on an Italian Street. Amazing. And there's an ice-rink in the middle! And a 2022 World Cup Stadium outside in the car park! Just...wow.

I visited this shopping mall today. Plenty of parking, plenty of access points and a really nice atmosphere inside. Every shop you can imagine. Unfortunately for me all the shops are exactly the same as I get in my hometown in the United Kingdom. Far nicer atmosphere, lovely decorative shop , the river was a lovely Touch and a funfair and iceskating rink with lots of restaurants. I would definitely recommend

This is one shopping mall that you must visit! Once you enter the main doors, it is as if you are in Venice as everything is Italian themed from the sky designed roof, beautiful dome roof, stunning Via Domo roof to the gondolas, shutters and the shop designs and layout throughout. The shops are also very well designed and decor easy on the high. There is a section that caters for luxurious brands and here you can get a personal shopper or shop in peace away from the crowds. The shop assistants in the shops I visited were very friendly and professional. There is an Iceskating rink, a cinema, an indoor theme park and a food court as well. It is near the metro so very accessible. They could do with more visitors though as understand that since the World Cup, it has been very quiet and they really need to do a bit more marketing to attract shoppers. Highly Recommended for some high end retail therapy!

So, you stroll in, and boom – you're greeted by these grand arches and fancy fountains. It's like entering a shopping wonderland. The architecture is top-notch, seriously. I felt like I was shopping in a palace. And the stores? Pure class. From international fashion brands to local gems, Villaggio's got it all. You can shop till you drop and then grab a cup of coffee at one of the chic cafes – perfect for people-watching, by the way.

Enjoyed my tour here. The mall's layout is easy to navigate, and there's a perfect mix of shops, dining spots, and entertainment options. The food court boasts a diverse range of cuisines, catering to every palate. It's a great place to unwind after some retail therapy. What truly sets Villaggio apart is its attention to detail and commitment to creating a pleasant atmosphere. The indoor canal with gondola rides is a nice touch, adding a touch of whimsy to the whole experience.

Spent more than half a day here. Beautiful mall that you can spend the entire day and not realize where time went. So many stores, so many food places. Plenty to see and enjoy. It is a beautiful mall and you will get some amazing pictures (hopefully you will not get people behind you- LOL)

Venice Involvement with Qatar.One of the best mall's in the Middle -East A canal with gondola boats meanders through the Shopping plaza. The shopping center is gigantic and delightful inside. An ideal mix of italian vibes with a luxury shopping and relaxation experience.
