Before starting the shopping tour, you will be given Special Discount Cards giving great prices at participating shops. With modern shopping complexes and malls competing with traditional souqs, shopping in Doha is indeed a pleasure. The maze of souqs, literally bursting onto sidewalks with goods, color, and culture, are often noisy and crowded - and they are a feature of life in the Middle East!
Your first stop is at a shop selling traditional carpets and antiques. They are of beautiful quality and craftsmanship, legacies to centuries of culture. Prices are reasonable, bargaining is fun, and discoveries are made. From the old we move to new department stores that sell quality international products like perfumes, cosmetics, clothing, watches and bags.
The tour ends at the old market, where culture and commerce meet. Men's and ladies wear, shoes and spices vie for your attention. One cannot rush through the souqs. Take your time to explore. Be prepared to bargain, even haggle, and delight in your purchase for years to come!
(Discount card can't be used in the old market; here you bargain!).
