You have to go there to experience it. Soug Waqif is about the atmosphere, smells, shops, rare gifts, antiques, bargaining, Turkish Coffee, pearls etc. Go to the open terrace cafe, near the donkey-ride and order a `nutty-coffee', a `sandewitch' and of course Shisha (even if you don't smoke, try one) then you will definitely feel the Souq atmosphere. I have been living in Qatar for 2 months, and I go to the Souq EVERY Thursday! Louis

Its about the atmosphere in the Souq. There is a hubub of merchants, wonderful smells, multitudes of little shops, you can bargain and find that special or rare gift. Go to the small open cafe, near the donkey ride, ask for a small nutty coffee and a `sandewitch' and of course Shisha and you will definitely acquire the peculiarity of Souq Waqif. I have been living in Qatar for 2 months and this is the place to be!

Looking at some images from Google could give you a taste. I personally like the place. Sitting there or having a walk when the weather isn't too hot is a cool thing.

Can you phrase the question so that people will know what it is you want to know?
