Couple enjoying Paris with Eiffel Tower

Al Wakrah is still one of Qatar's most attractive coastal towns and its character is a mixture of the traditional, the peaceful and the modern. Only a few minutes south of Doha, the town that boasts over a thousand years of history can turn a visitor from a small fishing and pearling place into a lively tourist spot. However, it never lost its real Arabian charm nor the bond it had with the sea.

Walking through Souq Al Wakrah is like a journey back in time. This place, with its narrow lanes, old-style buildings, and little coffee shops, displays the heart of the Qatari culture. The visitors can buy local arts and crafts, enjoy fresh fish dishes, or just sit with the beautiful view of the shining Arabian Gulf.

The Al Wakrah Beach is located right next to the souq where there is a long, charming beach, great for families, swimming, and evening walks by the water. The city's Corniche presents the lovely scenery and a quiet walkway where the citizens and other people come together to appreciate the windy and fresh seaside.

If you want a little bit of future mixed with modern excitement, then look no further than the spectacular Al Janoub Stadium, which is one of the iconic buildings built for the FIFA World Cup 2022 and a great example of the city's development along with the future vision.

Whichever way you choose to experience Al Wakrah, brandy, food, beach or culture, the city still invites you to partake in and understand the true spirit of Qatar and its sea side tranquility. Thus, no matter how you travel, it will give you the ideal combination of calming, revealing, and after the move from the heart of Doha.
