Souq Waqif’s proximity to Mandarin Oriental, Doha means you have a treasure trove on your doorstep. Amongst its narrow, twisting alleys and bustling squares you’ll find local craftsmen making bespoke pieces and unusual souvenirs, and art galleries selling pieces created in the region. Just to the south of Souq Waqif is Souq Najada, Doha’s gold souq, home to dozens of jewellers who will produce items to your own design. Further afield but worth a trip is the luxurious outdoor mall,Al Hazm, constructed using 41,000 tonnes of marble and stone imported from Jerusalem and Tuscany. Here you’ll find stores selling Arabic perfume, couture fashion and indulgent beauty salons.
