Itinerary
Souq Waqif means “standing market”. Falcon souq, spice souq, pet souq, gold souq, handicraft souq and art gallery are the highlights. Bedouins and locals would gather on either side of the river to trade goods — from cumin to wood. It’s also worth seeking out the small gold souq and the falcon souq, where you can handle these prized birds. Falcon still plays an important role in Qatari life, used for hunting both in Qatar and abroad. If you walk a little further into the labyrinth, you’ll see families shopping for their everyday needs. Souq will give you an opportunity to check your bargaining skill. You can find good collection of Qatari traditional wear and handicrafts.

I love visiting historical places, travelling to this Souq, it is also travelling in time. It has many different stores with fantastic bargains. Many different clothes and artifacts from other times, amazing souvenirs. There are different places where you can find local food, as well as international food, all this is walking distance. Visiting the Souq was part of the highlights of my day.
It just didn’t feel real .....it felt like we had walked on to a movie set .....it was very very hot , the lights were very dim as we wandered around the tiny little cobbled stone lane ways. All the shops were well stocked and you could buy almost anything from a tooth pick to a diamond ring . It’s a must if you have a stop over
