old new souq
visited the old New souq.. at the other end of bank street... n its just fantastic... cobble stoned... wonderful aura...
nice place to just sit n sip on some turkish coffee or visit the mini-weaponry museum.. by bismillah hotel..
its a must see for all residents.. old n new....
surprisingly lots of tourists out there......
It is called Souq Wagef, which means the standing Souq cos all people used to stand. It was one of the oldest souqs in Doha. Lots of spices and arabic fragrances were sold there, traditional dress etc. It is great. I went last week, had not been there for many years. They used to have lots of little shops there, which from a quick look I saw were there. There are a lot of antique shops there selling copies..... (these are new) But good fun to walk around and buying gifts for when you go back home.

anyone know anything about the Emir's Sword Race Festival next week. I think 25th to 27th March. Fantastic horse display on first night. Know what time or where?
I belive that is the best place here and the good thing the police didn't catch the bachelor there even in the weekends
I love the new "old souq" - go there regularly - its great when they have entertainment there too.
there is a coffee table book available - think its called "Souq Waqif", I saw it for sale at the Virgin Bookstore in Villagio
