    Can't go wrong here. You can hangout at the park. Walk on the corniche or grab any international meal from the different restaurant variety in souq waqif.

    Excellent amenities and well maintained park in the heart of Doha City. Ample of parking space, the souq Waqif next door makes it a big attraction for families. They even have few equipment for exercising, which is good for your shoulders and legs. Great place to hangout with family especially if your kids are small they will enjoy the play area which was surprisingly open during the pandemic.

    Souq Waqif Park is located next to the shoreline walkway of Doha's Corniche. With wide Green spaces, walkways and playgrounds, the park is a natural gathering point for families who want to relax near ocean breeze s. There is an open air amphitheater at the center of the Park that sometimes host special event. Souq Waqif is just nearby where you can also visit to find a place to rest.

    Souq Waqif is a marketplace in Doha, in the state of Qatar. The souq sells traditional garments, spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs. It is also home to restaurants and shisha lounges. The original building dates back at least from the 20th Century in a traditional Qatari architectural style. It was renovated in 2006

    Souq Waqif Park in Doha, Qatar, is a delightful oasis nestled within the bustling city. This park offers a tranquil escape from the urban chaos, providing visitors with a serene atmosphere and a range of recreational activities. During my recent visit, I found myself thoroughly captivated by the park's charm, making it an ideal destination for both locals and tourists alike. One of the standout features of Souq Waqif Park is its picturesque setting. Surrounded by traditional Qatari architecture, the park seamlessly blends into its surroundings, exuding an authentic Arabian ambiance. Lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and well-maintained pathways create a visually pleasing environment that encourages leisurely strolls and relaxation. The park's layout is well-designed, offering various sections to cater to different interests. Families can enjoy the dedicated play areas for children, equipped with swings, slides, and other recreational equipment. It's a joy to see kids laughing and playing in a safe and clean environment. For those seeking a peaceful respite, there are plenty of shaded seating areas and quiet corners perfect for reading a book or simply enjoying the tranquility. The well-manicured gardens offer a serene space to unwind and soak up nature's beauty. The park also features a small pond with charming wooden bridges and paddle boats, adding a touch of whimsy to the overall experience. Renting a paddle boat is a popular choice, allowing visitors to leisurely glide along the calm waters, creating wonderful memories. Furthermore, Souq Waqif Park hosts various events and festivals throughout the year, providing additional entertainment options. From live music performances to cultural exhibitions, there's always something exciting happening that adds to the vibrant atmosphere of the park. However, while the park offers an overall enjoyable experience, it could benefit from more amenities and facilities. Refreshment stands or cafés within the park would enhance visitors' comfort, allowing them to stay longer and enjoy a snack or a cup of coffee. In terms of cleanliness and maintenance, Souq Waqif Park excels. The park is meticulously cared for, and the staff ensures that it remains tidy and inviting. The presence of security personnel also contributes to a sense of safety and comfort for visitors. Finally, the park's location within the Souq Waqif area is an added advantage. After exploring the park, visitors can continue their journey through the vibrant market, indulge in traditional Qatari cuisine at the numerous restaurants, or shop for unique souvenirs. Overall, Souq Waqif Park is a charming and well-maintained oasis in the heart of Doha. Its scenic beauty, family-friendly amenities, and serene ambiance make it a perfect destination for leisurely walks, family outings, or a quiet retreat. With a few additional amenities, it has the potential to become an even more enticing attraction. Whether you're a resident or a traveler, a visit to Souq Waqif Park is highly recommended for a refreshing break from the city's hustle and bustle

  • 5/5 Shaji J. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a small park close to the souq. It's where we get the real essense of Arab Living, trade, culture. Beautiful place to visit. There are so many underground parking available. There are variety of restaurants and shops to dine and shop. Very friendly and comfortable for families and kids to visit. Highly recommended. Be little careful, while taking the underground passages to cross roads, because these passages are not properly marked with direction labels and chances to get confused.

  • 5/5 Kidilan T. 4 years ago on Google
    This is an all in one place for who ever is visiting Qatar also for the residents. Here you can enjoy a real traditional market, with birds, cats, dogs, house old items, Qatari tradional dresses, food items,.. it's a long list! Your babies can enjouy in the beautiful children's park with moderate settings. Inside a beautiful art Galary is there, it's a must visit place inside. Artist will draw your picture for 100-150 Riyal but really this picture worth for you 1000 Riyal or more and it can be kept for a life time! Underground walk way to reach Corniche side. Most of them times entertainment programs also available inside the souqe. A must visit place!!!

    Kids have a shaded playground. Adults and kids can workout on the mechanical but fun machines. For those in the mood for a picnic the green area is suitable for it. There is also a kiosk where you can buy hot and cold beverage.

    It's a nice place and must visit place in Doha. Due to renovation work the place is cramped and roads are not the best in form. Still in winter this is one of the go to place for families. After spending time in the part it makes perfect sense to visit to the souq and chill out for a while. Lot of food options all over to indulge in. Enjoy your visit next time. I am sure you will definitely enjoy your visit to this place and the vinicity. Hope the renovation work gets over soon to get back it's glogy.
