SOUQ AL WAKRAH
Al Wakrah's enormous and enchanting souq is a maze of alleyways
and courtyards, full of aged clay structures, traditional architecture, a
mosque, stables, and shops selling everything from honey, spices,
and dates to perfumes and souvenirs. It's easy to spend an evening
wandering the alleys, soaking up the atmosphere and imagining what
life would have been like hundreds of years ago in these lands. The
seafront promenade beside the souq is dotted with authentic (but
mediocre) restaurants. Souq Al Wakra reflects the old culture and
heritage of the country out of its structure, shops, mosques, cafes,
and traditional dhow boats.
