Souq Waqif (Arabic: سوق واقف) is a souq in Doha, in the state of Qatar. Transliterated to "the standing market," the souq is noted for selling traditional garments, spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs. It is also home to dozens of restaurants and Shisha lounges. Although it dates back at least a hundred years, it was renovated in 2006 to conserve its traditional architectural style.
