There are Souqs all over Doha - Souq al Ali, Souq Asiri, Furniture Souq, Omani Souq....

I think you have your wires crossed and you are thinking of Souq Al Ahmed.  The tenants were forcibly removed from this souq a while back and it has sit empty for a while in preparation of its demolition.  I for one am glad to see it go - it was ugly as sin and now they can further extend Souq Waqif right to Hamad street.
