Description

Fanar – the lighthouse is the cultural guest centre, where visitors can get an authentic feel of Qatari traditions, Islam religion, culture, and heritage. You will enjoy walking to the Museum of Islamic Art and the traditional Souq Waqif – the heritage market of Qatar. Souq Waqif consists of the Spice market, Falcon Market, Gold Market, Handicraft Market, Pet Market, Art Gallery, etc., which showcase everything you want for your home with a lot of Arabic traditional and western cafes and restaurants.
