Souqs are actually shops, and in Qatar, shops tend to be located in groups. For instance there are the gold souqs, the furniture souqs, the computer souqs, ... well you get the picture. I'm still looking for the automotive souqs and the ever popular soup souqs.
Doha used to have an old souq. However, times move on, and it was decided that progress required knocking it down and replacing it with a new souq that looks like an old souq. This area is call Souq Waqif, but more commonly known as ... you guessed it ... the Old Souqs. It is huge and contains a maze of shops that sell everything you can imagine. It is particularly famous for spices.
One of the nice features of the Old Souqs is the range of restaurants featuring foods of many different cultures. They all have outside areas where you can sit and eat, smoke shisha, and watch the people go by.
Here I am doing just that but particularly concentrating on my shisha. Now don't be confusing this with smoking anything illegal ... that's what I would call hashisha.
