Souq Waqif is possibly the most popular souq in Doha, and is built on the site of an old Bedouin Market, giving it an ancient and traditional look and feel. The narrow maze of streets that run through the souq is lined with stalls selling everything from Qatari dresses, clothing, perfumes, local honey, dried fruits, carved wooden chests, paintings by local artists, Bedouin weaving, souvenirs and much, much more. Keep in mind that all prices are up for negotiation! There are also numerous restaurants serving food from across the Middle East, including mouthwatering local specialties. Souq Waqif is especially delightful during the evening when the marketplace comes alive with spellbinding cultural shows and traditional dance and music performances. Being the only traditional souq in the Gulf, many tour operators, travel agencies and 5 star hotels in Doha, such as the Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara, offer tours to the souq.
