TOP INTRIGUING FACTS ABOUT SOUQ WAQIF DOHA
Souq Waqif is a marketplace in Doha, Qatar that sells traditional garments, spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs. It is also home to restaurants and shisha lounges. The original building dates back to the late 19th to early 20th centuries in a traditional Qatari architectural style. It was renovated in 20061.

Here are some interesting facts about Souq Waqif:

Souq Waqif was founded at least a century ago in proximity of the dry river bed known as Wadi Musheireb. It was a gathering place where Bedouins and locals would trade a variety of goods, primarily livestock goods1.
The souq fell into decline in the 1990s but was restored by the government in 2006 with the purpose of preserving its architectural and historical identity1.
The souq is considered a tourist attraction within Doha and hosts many theatricals, acrobatics and musical performances during its yearly spring festival around April12.
There are pet stalls in Souq Waqif which sell a variety of domestic pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles and birds. The sub-par living conditions of the pets has been the subject of advocacy campaigns in recent years12.
I hope that helps!
