Shops in Souq Waqif

We had a good moment visit this past week at souq waqif  in Doha, How a life-changing experience!
Let me share for you with a few photos, sorry I didn’t put many pictures, I’m just learning to use the camera on my new Blackberry phone.


Souq Waqif is the traditional souq that evolved from humble beginnings and whilst perhaps still the most traditional part of Doha's souq area because its close to the port.
It has a number of perfume shops and stalls offering the most exclusive fragrances from the west alongside the attars and essential oils popular in Arabia. A well worth a visit if you want to buy any of the traditional forms of Qatar national dress.
Souq Waqif is also full of shops selling all kinds of kitchen utensils, everything from cutlery and crockery, glasses and cool boxes, vacuum flasks and storage boxes to plastic were and pots and pans (including the sort of cauldron-sized containers which will enable you to cook for hundreds!).
Also available are falcon centers where you can touch and take photos of live falcons.

What to buy in Shops of Souq Waqif : 
 - antique shops, you will find old Arabic map collections that is worth keeping
- national dress, perfumes and spices
- candy stores
- kitchen utensils
- blankets, linens, appliances, electrical goods, textiles, sportswear and boutiques etc.
