Qatar - Part 3

This is my last post about Qatar. Y'all are probably tired of hearing about it by now. These pictures are from Souk Wakif. Souk Wakif literally means "standing market". I felt like we couldn't leave Doha without stopping here. We left Adam at the hotel and went to the souk (because, have you ever tried to deal with a very active 5 year old in 100+ degree weather and probably 100% humidity??). 

This is a hundreds year old souk that is now a tourist destination. It has been restored/updatedshisha lounges, and art galleries have been added. They also play local concerts here. You can also still buy all of the traditional things you'd buy at a souk.

and restaurants,

Everything was so nice and clean. If it wasn't too hot it would have been nice to sit outside and people watch!

Close, but no cigar!!

Family shopping in the souk

It was so nice and cool in the maze of tunnels

We're closed, come back later

Everyone is selling pretty much the same thing, and they all want you to come to THEIR store. If you put your hand on one thing, they bring out 50 more of them for you to see. 

Guardian of the souk!

Camels on the way home!!
