A night at the Souk

Souk Waqif is a historic Souk in the old centre of Doha and a 20 min walk from our hotel. It was recommended by our driver and by a fellow hotel guest as a great place to find dinner. 

Qatar is very safe to walk around, so we strolled there as it got dark and joined the crowds walking in and around the souk. Primarily families out for a Saturday evening and the stalls were doing great business. 

Couldn't get into our first choice for dinner but got into the next one and had fun choosing a meal from a menu which didn't have an English translation - luckily there were pictures of some of the dishes and we ate well. 

Continued our stroll after dinner and popped into the Art Gallery to see an exhibition of paintings about the war in Gaza with a musician playing in the centre. 

Decided on an early night as our airport transfer was due at 06.00.
