The thriving capital of Qatar perched on the Persian Gulf, Doha is a city on the rise. Ancient souks blend seamlessly with futuristic 21st-century buildings as the city evolves and constantly reinvents its own standards. The crescent-shaped Corniche with its glittering bay-front views offers a snapshot of the city's mesmerizing skyline, and the bustling Souq Waqif houses everything from time-honored crafts to fragrant sheesha cafes and restaurants in a reinvented 19th-century setting. While looking to the future, the city remembers to honor its traditions and the Katara Cultural Village soars with the sound of folk tunes passed down through generations. Doha holds promise as one of the region's most fast-developing and vibrant cities.
