Why this trip

Once a fishing village, now a suburb with a beach: Al Wakrah lies south of Doha on the water and has kept a souq that was not built only for tourists. In the evening you meet local families out for a stroll. Souq Al Wakrah and the Al Wakrah Old Souq are the centre, with shops, cafés and alleys that are easy to walk in an hour. The Al Wakra Beach Family Park is designed for children, and an afternoon can be spent at Beach Side.

In the nearby MIA Park, a walk with a view of the Doha skyline is worthwhile. The Souq Al Wakra Hotel Qatar by Tivoli and the Jouri, a Murwab Hotel come from the hotel list. For meals and prayer, as everywhere in Qatar, ask about your wishes early so that nothing has to be improvised. The cool season from November to April is the right one.

Doha, Lusail and Al Khor come into question as neighbours. If you want to travel around the city without a car, it is better to plan for a driver or taxis, because the distances between the places are greater than they look on the map.
