Private Photoshoot in Doha - Souq Waqif with Local Arabic Flavors and Culture

A more Instagrammable location for photography can hardly be found anywhere else in the world. The atmosphere of the place is like saying to its visitors 'Take a photo in every corner of this room', and a professional photographer will be happy to capture the moment.

This museum consists of 4 houses, each containing exhibits from different eras of Arab culture. Each house/installation is beautifully presented using different media to tell the story and the photos in this place are full of the flavor of Arab civilization.

In 2019, Qatar won the Asian Football Cup and in honour of this, a monument designed by the great French artist César Baldacchini was erected. The photos in the background of this statue fully depict its scale in relation to other city buildings

The building was erected by the Turks during the Ottoman Empire (1299-1922). The fort had defensive functions and was a prison, but later Arab architects dismantled it and made it into a museum inside. A park with many palm trees and other plants was built around the building. It would be extremely difficult to find a more colourful place in the whole of Qatar.

In most selections from tourists, this place is one of the 20 most important places to visit in Qatar. A falcon in Qatar is not just a pet but a pride, a competitor in falconry, a hunter, and a living history with a link to the Bedouin tradition. Here you can not only take pictures with the graceful and proud birds, but also buy souvenirs.

It's time to head to the local, colourful, authentic oriental bazaar. Everything is mixed here: aromas of spices, incense, oriental oils, roasted meat and flatbread, hookah, the smells of freshly squeezed fruit. The place is home to over 500 different sites, including restaurants, crockery and souvenir shops, cultural monuments.

The design of the place is based on the Great Mosque in Samarra, which was built in the 9th century. The place is a mosque, a library and a centre for various religious activities as well as lessons in Arabic and Islam, open to non-Muslims as well. Needless to say, what a unique photo experience the Souq Waqif Mosque has to offer?

There are more than 100 different species of plants in this park, and the infrastructure is well laid out. Souq Waqif Garden has comfortable footpaths, places for photographs, and even attraction areas.

This monument ranks 1st in the list of the biggest monuments of the pearl. It is located on an artificially created island from which the skyscrapers of Doha are perfectly visible. The backdrop of these buildings and The Pearl Monument would make for a great little photo shoot.

A visit here will help bring you closer to the 2022 FIFA World Cup that will be held in Qatar. The flags of the nations that will take part in this biggest sporting event are already displayed here.

The Corniche promenade winds around the Gulf coast for 6.5 kilometers. It's a great place not only to take photos, but also to watch the water and yachts go by.

The walking trail is 12 kilometres long, but we don't have to take that route. We'll only take a short walk along the vast array of plants to see Doha from above and take photos.
