SOUQ WAQIF

Until land was reclaimed along Doha's waterfront in the 1970s, the waters lapped at the entrance to Souq Waqif – it was a waterfront market, one where traders were just as likely to arrive by boat as by camel. The first semi-permanent stalls or shops here were first built around 250 years ago. Prior to that, vendors stood and sold their wares from makeshift stalls, so often did the market flood, and it is from this tradition that the souq's name derives: waqif means 'standing' in Arabic.
