It’s a traditional market and one of the best places in Doha. I visited the place 10 years ago and the changes and the development that happened here is amazing. There is an art gallery in the middle of the market and Msheireb is just a walking distance from the market
We've been to a lot of souqs and sometimes they can be a little claustrophobic, especially if there's heat and incense. This one is wide and easier to navigate, with lots to look at around the perimeter especially.
The fun parts are the galleries and sculpture, there's lots to see and enjoy.

A delightful place brimming with vibrant colors, charismatic energy, and rich cultural heritage. This bustling market offers a huge variety of goods, from spices and fabrics to handcrafts and souvenirs. The labyrinthine paths lead you to an array of eateries serving mouth-watering local cuisine. Don't miss the falcon shops and traditional music performances. An inimitable blend of the old and the new that must be experienced.
An old, traditional and well maintained market located in a perfect location, the atmosphere is amazing, prices are reasonable, it's an excellent place to take food or to walk especially in the evening when all shops, stores, restaurants...
Are open.
This is a must visit place in Doha.

Pictures unfortunately don't convey the hustle and bustle, the greetings from the shop owners and more importantly the smell of the spices or perfumes. I've been to the Souq in Dubai but this felt a more realistic experience especially as the bulk of the people were locals. Highly recommended for a wee wander
A must see. Used by locals to shop and dine its a great atmosphere. Comfortable shoes a must as there is lots to explore. Get lost in the alleyway’s and barter for bargains. I live and work in Qatar and bought dates, honey and spices. Love the restaurants, love the food. The gold souq is just across the road but check that days gold prices check the weight and multiply by gram. They profit on making charges per gram so it’s easy to know what you are paying. Check for gold stamp and barter the making charge and come home happy.
Stunning. Beautiful architecture. Gets very busy at night and quite dark. Highly recommend visiting in the day. Be aware of mosque times. Great place for getting souvenirs.
