Katara was built to epitomize traditional Qatari architecture. Katara’s design makes it a proper
environment for cultural, creative, intellectual, and artistic activities through carnivals, social events,
symposiums, exhibitions, concerts, and all kinds of artistic expressions.
The entire Katara complex is built in a fusion of oriental architectural and retro-romantic styles,
different from most of Doha’s charming new cultural buildings elsewhere in the city.

Overlooking the shining blue sea, The Katara Amphitheatre is an architectural beauty created as a
fusion of the perpetual Islamic features and classical Greek theatre concept. The Opera House offers
a luxurious cultural experience with a blend of Oriental and late Victorian architectural styles,

resulting from European 19th- century models and conventional Islamic design. – Outdoor air-
conditioned commercial Katara Plaza Mall.

Souq Waqif means “standing market.” The highlights are Falcon souq, spice souq, pet souq, gold souq,
handicraft souq, and art gallery. Bedouins and locals would gather on either side of the road to trade
goods — from cumin to wood.
It’s also worth seeking out the small gold souq and the falcon souq, where you can handle these
prized birds. Falcon still plays an essential role in Qatari life, used for hunting in Qatar and abroad.
If you walk a little further into the labyrinth, you’ll see families shopping for their everyday needs.

wear and handicraft. Later take a Dhow Cruise to end this perfect day!
