    Very huge installation in the middle of the Souq. Le Pouce, in the shape of a giant thumb as it translates directly to English as 'The Thumb', is one of its creator’s best-known pieces and a popular example of his tendency to create larger than life experiences. The art installation becomes the latest addition to Qatar’s extensive public art collection, which aims to connect audiences living in and visiting Qatar with inspiring works of art through unexpected interactions in daily life.

    If you visit souq waqif you will not miss the golden thumb. It’s a central point and an excellent landmark point to where you can navigate all of souq waqif. It’s an impressive statue at the cross road in the heart of souq waqif.

    You are taking a leisurely stroll, admiring the local pubs and landscapes, and suddenly a several-meter tall finger grows in front of you. This is as iconic a place for Doha as the Eiffel Tower is for Paris
