Doha is the capital city of Qatar located on the Persian Gulph which was once a fishing and pearling town. Today it is a thriving metropolitan city offering tourists authentic cultural experiences, museums, shopping in traditional souqs, fine dining and local excursions.
Souq Waqif
The top tourist destination in Doha where you can enjoy shopping in a maze of several sections divided into different souqs consisting of small shops. You can find restaurants, clothing, groceries, souvenirs, pets, spices, jewelry, household items, antiques, handcraft items, oud and Arabic perfumes. A must see is the falcon souq where you can buy falcons and falconry supplies. Falconry is a popular Arabic hobby.
Iftar Cannon
The iftar cannon is used in several Muslim communities around the world to signal the breaking of the fast at sunset during the holy month of Ramadan. It is an ancient tradition used before the invention of modern technology and a Ramadan experience that friends, families and tourists look forward to.
