Souq Al Wakra beckoning fans and visitors

- Thajudheen

While highlighti­ng Qatar’s pride and architectu­ral features, Souq Al Wakra is attracting a good number of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 fans and other visitors.

The souq is a blend of old architectu­re with new buildings and traditiona­l identity with innovative modern solutions.

The open market bears the legacy of fishing and pearl trade. The souq also houses a variety of restaurant­s, cafes, shops and kiosks. Eateries at Souq Al Wakra have extended the working hours until 2am. Many opt to watch the World Cup at restaurant­s here, which overlook the beach and picnic spots.
