The place is very clean and pleasant. You can feel the atmosphere of the east, although the building was built only in the twentieth century. It's almost the same in every shop, except for the small change in the variety of magnets and figurines. When entering from Al Ahmad Square, do not buy souvenirs right away - walk along the main street to the end and turn into some nook. There, prices are slightly lower, and sellers are more accommodating, you can bargain. If you stand with your back to the mosque at the entrance and go deeper into the narrow streets, you will immediately come out to spices and sweets. I do not recommend buying sweets - these are international brands that are everywhere (I met sweets produced in Balashikha), but spices and dried fruits (especially dates and figs) are recommended. Go to the store, the name of which is in the photo, this is the only place where we were given to try both nuts and dried fruits in unlimited quantities (they didn't even offer anywhere else, "buy immediately without a sample")
It's very beautiful at night, everything is illuminated, but there are even more people, get ready for the fact that you will have to push

A very clean and authentic Arab market. Arab clothing and leather goods are made and sold here. There are a lot of souvenirs, but also good local products. It's nice to walk and eat. It's very safe. I recommend.

It is very interesting, the atmosphere of the ancient market and the city, you get into the distant past. Oriental flavor and hospitality .
There are many cafes with national dishes, it is not expensive enough.
Exhibitions and various interesting events are constantly taking place. I recommend.

Oyy well, it's just the most beautiful place for me where the culture and traditions of the people of Qatar have been preserved. These beautiful streets, the aromas of bahura, and pleasant oriental music immerse you in an oriental fairy tale. This is not just a market, but a place for beautiful photos and videos, especially the falconry market.

A picturesque place. Despite the presence of top malls and shopping malls in the country, there is a market in the city center where pots, buckets, sneaker hats, fabrics, nuts, raisins and other goods are sold. There is a whole department of birds, fish and other animals. There are shops nearby that sell live falcons, look, it's interesting.

An interesting place to visit is mandatory for those who will be in Doha. There are many interesting shops and shops with very original products. It's very easy to get there, the metro station is right in front of the entrance to the market

An interesting place, a lot of things. And food, and souvenirs, and things, and restaurants. The very center, a lot of people. Here you can take a walk, buy something to remember you by, or just have a delicious meal. There are both street snacks and a variety of restaurants from different cultures and countries. We ate Syrian kuchnya in the Damascus restaurant, very tasty. But we also saw European cuisine and even a Georgian restaurant)

An unusual, amazing place! Without annoying and intrusive sellers. It's nice to take a walk in the evening, when it's not so hot anymore and the shops are filled with light! It is very convenient to get there by metro.

The market is very clean, and it smells delicious of hookah and perfume from people passing by. You can eat cheap and expensive on the street of restaurants. We had dinner here twice. Everything is very tasty.

There is a great market in Doha, it is huge in size. The history of those times has been preserved, as from the film about Aladdin. I recommend marking a falconry farm, a site for the sale of camels and 2 colors of horses (dark and light)

There is an interesting market, there is a falcon hospital and they sell falcons, it is interesting to see, camels are sold, mainly fabrics for locals, gold is also for locals, delicious food. There is a great coffee shop with sweets next to the entrance, there is always a queue there. It's very tasty and worth standing up for.

The clothing market was not very impressed, there are a lot of things in a bunch. Basically just an oriental bazaar where everything is cheap and not very high quality (everything is for middle-class people or the Qatari workforce ) . Just to take a walk, to see people, to show themselves. It 's better to go to the nearest mall.

The most colorful place in Doha and in All of Qatar. We spent almost all our evenings there. We were just walking. People from all over the world and all social statuses gather there. The market is big, you can buy anything.lots of cafes, horses, camels, falcons, lots of rags from all over the world.....
The market is new, but the atmosphere is Arab.

A local landmark. Shopping malls, between which you have to move. There are cafes, restaurants and eateries around with delicious and cheap food. Don't expect anything special. The sculpture of the Golden Finger, where everyone is photographed. You can visit it once.

The old city of Doha. You can have a delicious dinner at the Cairo restaurant. Try knafu near the statue of a Finger, and order a decanter of Arabic coffee in a cafe nearby. There are streets with goods inside. Bargain)

an extremely interesting, colorful place where you can see and buy eagles, falcons and other animals, or spices or local tea and coffee with spices, but due to the fact that this market is the center of attraction for tourists, prices there will be very, very high

It's a very strange market. Perhaps in the era of the desert, and if you fell behind the caravan, you would have liked it. But what's good about it?

One of the advantages is to plunge into the market wave. It is possible and necessary to bargain. Of the cons, I wanted to taste the coffee brewed in a turk, but I did not find it. Only coffee machines. I did not feel the oriental exoticism in full.

Authentic old market in Doha. You shouldn't expect anything super special, but you need to visit to develop your horizons. Inside, a lot of national crafts and jewelry are sold mixed with different husks for tourists. Sellers don't bother, everything is cultural.

In principle, there is nothing extraordinary here.It comes to life after 17, people are added at times.We were on National Health Day, maybe that's why.Sellers are not very intrusive. Not far from the Museum of Islamic Art.There is a direct exit from the subway.In general, you need to go here for photos / videos with a finger , good restaurants and souvenirs.

The diversity of the market leaves much to be desired. But for a tourist there you can buy something for souvenirs and just as a gift. There are cafes where you can have a snack.

Be sure to visit, maybe you won't buy anything, but wander, drink tea, take beautiful photos and be sure to look at the bird market (it's like a free zoo), look at the Falcons and then go out towards the harbor and admire the herd of camels and it's all in one place. I recommend

Doha. The city market. Vintage. An oasis of coolness in the heat of the city. Camels are traded around the market, a very picturesque picture. And there are a lot of spices on the market, and the smell… All the seasonings of the world are here. There is a large hall with hunting falcons, which are very expensive. And a stable with Arab horses. Like in a museum. Very beautiful.

A large Arab market with many cafes, souvenir shops and shops with all kinds of goods. The tour begins with a corral for the royal camels in service. Then there are many shops with hunting falcons and accessories for falconry. There is also a large market for Arabian horses. An interesting place.

A real Arab market for Arabs. We didn't buy anything but souvenirs, because we didn't have to, but we took a walk and saw enough of the local flavor. I recommend finding a bird market, seeing how camels are sold, and, of course, a gold market
