Why Souq Waqif (Doha)?

Sh3beyat Souq Waqif :P  Doha

I never heard about it before..what's about that place that made it so special? My question to my mom Why souq waqif ? why you and your friends want to go all the way to doha-Qatar only for Souq Waqif? What's so special about it ? she said its their Mubarakiya souq but in a different way ! how in a different way? we almost have the same cultures ummm ....well It was worth it to take 2 days off and leave to check that souq :P anything to get me on a plane is worth it I never say No ;P  I said Y not at the same time I can check out Asia Cup 2011 preperation & also had the chance to check Aspire Academy.

I love ! really its like having a day of the past Mashallah !

Now What can I say about that souq, I just love it ! amazing atmosphere !Loved every single thing about it modern cafes & restaurants and their free wifi:P q3daat sh3biyaaa weya 9a7baat kil qahwa qa3da weya 3baat.ha o kil w7da yadah ! So so so cute ! also el small shops for traditional spices, Handicrafts, souvenirs and much more.

 How is it different from our souq lmbarikiya. They are both traditional markets that reflects our cultures,the difference is that Souq Waqif is so clean! everything is well arranged and it reflects the past in most of the ways , what I like is the Police officers who were wearing the old clothes that they used to were in the past! I like the food ! usually I get scared of eating anything from the streets but this time I enjoyed it ! many foreigners were enjoying their times ! they are so crazy they were wearing the traditional Deshdasha & Ghetra o le3qal el qatari o the girls with them were wearing women's traditional clothes ! 3baya o ba6oola :P so cute when u notice them talking english and doing their shopping with those clothes ;P

I don't know if I had the chance to check it all around !  I stayed in Doha only for one night Unfortunately but this is what I saw , enjoy guys :)
