📍 Destination Overview
Al Wakrah, a historic town on Qatar's east coast near Doha, once lived on fishing and pearl diving. Its restored old town revives traditional Qatari architecture - coral-stone walls, wind towers and carved wooden doors; the souq keeps an authentic feel, and a promenade curves along the Persian Gulf. The Grand Mosque is the landmark, and the 2022 World Cup added a training stadium here.
