Souq Waqif

"We visited the Souq multiple times during our stay, drawn by its magnetic ambiance and seemingly endless shops. Our daughter especailly loved the section filled with birds, kittens, puppies, and bunnies, all within arm’s reach. As a family, we enjoyed taste-testing the nuts and dates before bringing home bags of our favorites. The Souq offers a variety of dining options suitable for everyone, from bread shops where you order through a window to charming tea and coffee cafes. For those interested in trying a hookah, several locals can be seen enjoying it at nearby tables. Kids can ride camels or ponies and hold a falcon, while parents capture pictures from the side. The Souq also features Turkish ice cream, balloons, toys, and numerous clothing stores, perfect for picking up a traditional outfit as a souvenir."
