Qatar's best shopping places: shops, malls and markets (souqs)
Qatar's largest mall is City Center. In this huge mall are many stores to choose from. Other malls include Landmark, Hyatt Plaza, The Mall, Royal Plaza and Villagio, which Forbes says is one of the best malls in the world. Because of the huge amount and variety of (luxury) shops you probably need several days to visit and see everything and spend your money correctly.
Blue Salon has huge sales every six months where you can pick up Armani, Valentino and Cerruti suits for half price. There are many good tailors in Qatar and it is a good place to have clothes made to measure and copied.
The souqs in downtown Doha also have a lot to offer, although the quality of most of the goods is less than those of the malls. Prices are negotiable, so practice your haggling, it's fun to do. Souq Waqif is the most interesting of the souqs, after renovation it looks as it did 50 or 60 years ago. |
