Itinerary
Ramadan flips Doha's clock. Daytime is quiet and many places are closed or shortened; the city comes alive after the sunset call to prayer. This is a single evening built around that rhythm — a cultural stop before iftar, the meal itself, then the souq at its liveliest near midnight. Dress modestly, and don't eat or drink in public before sunset.
Before iftar
Things to do · Al Corniche, near Souq Waqif
FANAR's cultural centre runs guided visits and mosque tours aimed at non-Muslim visitors — a calm, well-pitched introduction, and it fits neatly into the hour before sunset.
Iftar
Things to do · Ras Abu Abboud
Break the fast at Sharq Village's Ramadan tent, a short drive from the souq: a buffet of Qatari and regional dishes, live cooking stations and an oriental band.
After iftar
Things to do · Souq Waqif
The souq doesn't really get going until 9 or 10pm during Ramadan. Come back for the artisan stalls, tea, and the crowds that fill the lanes until the small hours.
