Souq Al Wakrah (Arabic: سوق الوكرة, lit.'bird's nest marketplace'; also known as Al Wakrah Heritage Village) is a reconstructed traditional marketplace located in the coastal city of Al Wakrah, Qatar, approximately 19 kilometers south of the capital Doha.[1] Situated directly on Al Wakrah Beach, the souq incorporates traditional architectural features and heritage elements, and includes both old-fashioned houses and commercial spaces.[2] The souq was opened in late 2014, in conjunction with Qatar National Day.[3]
