Downtown Doha, near Souq Waqif

Gold Souq

The Gold Souq is a concentration of jewellery retailers in the Souq Najada area adjacent to Souq Waqif, dealing primarily in 18k–22k gold sold by weight against the day's gold rate, with the price negotiable. It's consistently noted as smaller and less internationally geared than Dubai's equivalent, with room to haggle offsetting slightly higher posted prices.
