          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.

          Great tour!
          Ali was excellent. He took his time. Even during the drive to the museum he shared various fact and history about doha. Very professional and easy to understand.

          Fabulous city tour.
          We used this service in august for a city tour guide. Landmarks were magnificent, beautiful nature, polite citizens. We really enjoyed this experience. Our tour guide,Mohammed was really helpful and he explained the history of Qatar. He took professional pictures of us so now we have perfect pictures to display in our home. Overall this package was totally worth it we really connected to the heart of Qatar.

          Tax free refunds process tips
          I have had a terrible expirience to get the tax refunds in the Madrid airport. So I would like to share how does it work in order to help all those people that need to do this while leaving the country. First step: before check-in your luggage scan all your receipts on the self-service machine. Second step: after check-in and after security control, before you go to the gate, look for the "tax free refunds" or "global exchange" office. They have to approve your apply. During the shoping while in the store you can choose to get your tax refund in cash or credit card. If you choosed cash - you get your money right away, otherwise you'll get it sometime in the future on your credit card. This office is open just from 7 am till 11 pm!

          Could Easily Spend a Few Days Here
          The collections here are fascinating and displayed beautifully. The building itself is a work of art and the views from the terraces, Instagram favorites. A world class museum!

          Cultural Village Katara
          Interesting photo opportunities although the village was closed. Maybe it would be better if you could enter some of the buildings

          Qatar is Ready for FIFA 2022
          Amazed by the Brilliant changes I have witnessed within such a short span of time. I am confident that Qatar will host the best FIFA WORLD CUP ever. I visited the new Cities; Lusail, Katara etc. Just simply astonishing! Even the Stadiums are Mind Blowing! So creative! I am sure all the Football Fan's are going to be surprised with the Stadium, Malls, Infrastructure, Food & Beverage Options etc.

          Great expirience with Sharif
          More than any expectations cultural city tour in Doha Qatar with Sharif Massouh was extraordinary expirience. High level professionalism and knowledge about Doha most important landmark, in the same time friendly and hostility Sharif show me most interresting places and people in some of cultural places. Beautiful mosque and Islamic center and especially traditional tea with people in those places was unique expirience. I will for sure back with my friends because they all enjoy in my stories. It was the best guiding tour in my manny visit to Doha.

          Beautiful Islamic Art for the World to See.
          I am making a double review (copy and paste) since TA has allowed a double publication of this place and it is fair to allow readers to understand that these two places are intrinsically the same. Meaning: Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar and Museum of Islamic Art. Two names; same place. Now let's go ahead with the review. This is by far one of the most beautiful museums in the world that I have visited. Don't get me wrong, I love Louvre, The Vatican, El Prado, etc. All filled with outstanding pieces and the places themselves pieces of history as well. The Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar or Museum of Islamic Art, is a modern place, recently made, but designed in a way that allows the peaceful Islamic ways to flow with architecture that regardless of being modern, feels from centuries ago. Located in la Corniche, the main Gulf road that flows along the promenade of Qatar, it was designed by Leoh Ming Pei, FAIA, RIBA a Chinese-American architect. Born in Guangzhou but raised in Hong Kong and Shanghai and who died just last year on the 16 May 2019 at the impressive age of 102 years. Not too bad!!! The museum hosts the restaurant IDAM led by the head chef and French culinary genius Alain Ducasse. He is not there of course, but his team is definitely keeping up the good training. The museum is by far huge internally and externally, occupying an area of some 45,000 m2 (480,000 sq ft), and its architecture as I mentioned before, is influenced by ancient Islamic architecture yet has a uniquely modern design involving geometric patterns. It is worth mentioning that it is the first of its kind to feature over 14 centuries of Islamic art in the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. Absolutely breathtaking. You need to come here with time. Time to walk, to appreciate, to inform yourself, to make beautiful inner and outer pictures of this place that is art itself. You need time to understand here the true peaceful ways of Islam and the beauty that deserves a special place in our world. Please enjoy the pictures we have divided strategically among the two copied and pasted reviews and be mesmerized of this wonder of history, art and architecture.

        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

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
