Can I ask you a question why souq Waqif is now the number 1 tourist attraction here in Qatar?
I also agree with you when you say "They have Turkish, Lebanese, Egyptian, Indian, Italian... yet strangely Qatari food makes no appearance whatsoever.

To me it's as if some Qataris are actually embarrassed by their culture."
I agree with you that there must be a nice Qatari restaurant there in cultural village.
