Exciting and fascinating reports on the old Souq Waqif market in Doha, Qatar and tasting delicious food and drinks such as kebab, pizza and coffee in this market was part of my travel plans to Qatar. Together with my dear friend Isa, today we came to Souq Waqif market, which is about two centuries old and like many old and traditional markets in the Middle East, it has many alleys, where there are all kinds of shops and restaurants, and it was renovated in 2006 and are going to get cool reports. During the World Cup 2022 in Qatar, fans from different countries are everywhere, especially in this market, we saw fans from different countries who were really excited.

The architecture of Souq Waqif market is in the style of Qatari architecture and there are many small shops inside the market that sell all kinds of fabrics, spices, henna and different souvenirs, and of course my favorite part is the many big and small restaurants in the back alleys of this market.
They attract attention and the first place we are going to report is a very famous kebab shop called Matam Shoja, which was quite busy and it is about twenty-five years old here and it has been preserved in the same old style, and besides kebab, they also have very delicious pizzas. Zaatar and cheese are added on the dough, and they have a version with chicken that comes with tomato sauce on the dough with pepper, cheese and chicken, each one is more delicious than the other

Souq Waqif market is full of old and cool coffee houses where you could smoke hookah and drink tea and coffee. It was interesting that one of these coffee houses was about a hundred years old. Around noon, we went to an old kebab shop in Hossein Zeinal Al-Maadi alley called Kebab Tayyeb, which has been in business since 1937 and has an old oven for baking tafton bread in a traditional style. You could try all kinds of kebabs here, it was very busy and full of tourists.
We had koobideh kebab with Isa, which has different sizes of grilled kebab, medium, small or large, or kebab that is marinated with lemon powder, as well as saffron chicken kebab, which is a very delicious combination with hot tafton bread and fresh vegetables and onions.

The famous Qatari halva was our next report in the Souq Waqif market, and the difference between Qatari halva and Omani halva is the amount of dried nuts used in it. Qatari halva is full of nuts, such as almonds, pistachios, cashews, and can be kept longer than Omani halva.
To make Qatari halva, the main ingredients are placed on the fire, cashews are added to it and stirred, then ghee, infused saffron, and cardamom powder are added and stirred.

At the end of the tour in the Souq Waqif market, we went to a coffee house called Majles Arabi, which has different teas and coffees, such as Arabic coffee, which had a bit of saffron and cinnamon, and we ate it with dates, which was wonderful.
Arabs drink coffee with their right hand. They have a tradition they will recharge the coffee glass while it's in your hand and whenever you shake it and put it down, they will not pour you any more coffee. The interesting thing was that the coffee here was free.
