Strolling Through Doha’s Souqs

What the thumb-shaped peninsula of Qatar lacks in space, it more than makes up for in culinary offerings

Qatar has many other souqs that cater to various other palates and ethnic groups. For the many guest workers who crave delicacies from home, there is a Filipino souq near the Museum of Islamic Art. For Westerners who crave haraam ("forbidden") items like alcohol and pork, there is the Qatar Distribution Center, which is next to the Department of Islamic Affairs.

Qatar Distribution centre must be so easy to find being right next door to the Dept. of islamic affairs. The town planner must have certainly done his job well.
