Doha's Fresh Food Market

Doha's Wholesale Market lies oon the junction of Salwa Road and Al Wakra Main Street.


Again you will not find many or maybe any Qatari or Western Faces here!


The hub of shopping for household staff and restaurant suppliers it is a typical fresh food market like you would expect to find anywhere in the World. Two points to note is that once parked you may find another vehicle double parked with you making it a long wait to get out, the other point being the incredibly sticky tarmac that makes walking in flip-flops totally impossible and absolutely hilarious!


On arrival you will probably be approached by a porter with a wheelbarrow who will accompany you around the market collecting your purchases and transporting them to your vehicle.


The market has a vegetable section, a fruit section where you can find a selection of fruit and dates and there is a large area for Water Melons. 
Fish can be found in a separate building.


Fish can be cleaned and prepared for you for a small fee by taking it to a separate cleaning area.
