The Brown family is kind of obsessed with Souq Wakif.

There is no surprise as its full of Middle Eastern culture.

We’ve learned the best time to go is right before the sun sets. {At least for now, while the weather is still hot} There is a quietness in the air as the vendors start preparing for the business of the night, and there is nothing more magical than walking around as the sun is setting. Photos will never do it justice.

Night life in Qatar is always busy. Everything stays open late and there is always a hustle and bustle. The Souq never disappoints.

Getting lost in the culture of the souq is always full of bright colors and smells. I always get badgered from the local Pakistani or Indian men to buy pashmina’s and camel pants, but its all in the fun of going. Our whole family now has a pair of camel or elephant pants which are the most comfortable pants ever.

The food available at the Souq is a hidden treasure. Local women sell home made Qatari dishes and pastries out front every night. There are restaurants from high end boutique hotels to street vendors as well, and you can pretty much delight in any cuisine. Yemeni, Indian, Turkish, Italian? The list goes on. Take your pick.

Going to Souq Wakif is now our casual tradition. Whether we want to walk around for something to do, go eat or are in need of a basket, incense, spices or trinkets. It is easily something the entire family enjoys on a weekend. Our hearts have been captured by the Souq.
