Hi all,

going by the link provided by username34 has anyone been to the market?

directions would be appreciated.

Excerpt from the link...

#When/where to go

The vendors will offer their wares three days a week at a new market near the Umm Salal Sports Club on Al Shamal Expressway, near the 22 farmhouses in Qatar that grow local vegetables.

The stalls will be open from 7am to 7pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays between the months of October and June. But during opening day tomorrow, Dec. 27, the market will open at 10am.

I was under the impression that the fruit and vegetable market in Mamoura was no longer open to the public. There's no real demand for fruit and vegetables in Qatar. People here prefer Hardees and majboos.

A Qatari national is asking such a question? Don't they know anything about their own country?

There are no major farms here. The few farms that are here don't produce much. Hence there is no such demand for Farmers market where you can take you fresh produce to sell.

Best to go to the wholesale market
