Souq Waqif is a historical market in central Doha founded over a century ago, where traders traditionally set up shop to sell goods including livestock, textiles, perfumes, jewelry, and souvenirs. Visitors explore narrow alleyways lined with family-owned shops, restaurants serving Qatari and Middle Eastern cuisine, pet and falcon stalls, and can attend cultural events including a yearly spring festival featuring theatrical and musical performances.
