The Middle East is fast becoming recognised as being one of the most luxurious regions in the world, saturated with sprawling metropolitan landscapes containing a civilisation whose majority bask in various levels of luxury living. The capital and most populous city of the State of Qatar, Doha, is one such place. Currently being classified as a ‘world city’, Doha is becoming one of the most sought after travel-destinations in the world, and Doha Hotels such as Banana Island Resort, Doha by Ananatara are constantly striving to provide over-the-top experiences akin to the nature of the city.

The go-to shopping destination in Doha, is the ‘City Centre’, simply because it is the one place where past and present Doha collide to give you a completely unique shopping experience. Containing upwards of 300 shops, the City Centre has everything from household groceries to luxury watches, but what matters more than what it contains, is the nature of the facility that contains it.

The City Centre has been designed with tradition in mind just as much as modern architecture, so the entire complex has been made in a tented style to pay homage to the original architecture of Qatari tradition. Within the walls of the City Centre her marbled floors contain attractions such as bowling alleys, climbing walls, and even an ice-skating rink.

If you truly want to delve into a one-of-a-kind shopping experience, one from a different age even, then Doha’s whole-sale market should be at the top of your list. This is a place where people from all walks of life visit in order to purchase goods ranging from fruits and vegetables to various meats at whole-sale amounts. One can also buy live animals at the market, ranging from goats to various birds and poultry. Certain chicks are mysteriously available in colours such as Lime Green.

The City Centre and the Whole-Sale market are only two of the many wonders that await you at Doha, so be sure to consider this magical city for your next vacation.
