A Place That Embodies National Traditions

Located in the heart of Doha, Qatar, Souq Waqif is a sprawling marketplace filled with shopping arcades, restaurants, teahouses, and antique and handicraft complexes. It is a bustling hub where you can find affordable clothing, handcrafted bags, souvenirs, traditional sweets, and spices. Additionally, it offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the local community.
Adjacent to Souq Waqif is the Falcon Souq, a popular spot among the locals. Here, you can find a variety of birds of prey, including falcons, which can be held for a fee of 10 riyals under the supervision of a shop assistant. These falcons are often sold at open auctions for thousands of dollars.
The market also features unique areas for camel trading, adding to its cultural charm. [gallery-20713] These stunning photos, captured by Khotam Mamadaliyev for UzA, showcase the vibrant atmosphere and traditional elements of this one-of-a-kind destination.
