Souq Waqif
The restored old market in the centre of Doha, and the best evening in the city. Spice merchants, textile stalls, falcon dealers and coffee houses, under a famous canopy of coloured umbrellas. Go after dark when it comes alive.

I. M. Pei designed this building on its own island in the bay, and it holds one of the finest collections of Islamic art anywhere. The view back at the Doha skyline from its park is the best in the city.
A seven-kilometre waterfront promenade curving around the bay, with the West Bay towers on one side and traditional dhows moored on the other. Walk it at dusk when the towers light up.
