Art in the standing market

Souq Waqif has been a major part of Doha for hundreds of years. As you walk through the Souq you feel like you are traveling back in time to the Ancient Middle East. In the Souq you can buy spices, perfumes and traditional clothing. Additionally, the Souq hosts a multitude of restaurants with international cuisine. A recent development has taken place in the Souq, which is the growth and development of art galleries and craft stores. Art is increasingly becoming of interest in Qatar and in this documentary, I speak to the people of Al Housh Gallery and A Child’s Cup Full Charity right there inside the Souq.
