Market
Gold Souq Doha Qatar
شارع ال، Thani Bin Jasim St, Doha
Jewelers weighing twenty-two-carat gold and bridal sets in front of buyers, certificate in hand.
This guide to Doha's Gold Souq follows the everyday ritual of buying gold here: a jeweler weighing a piece on a brass scale while a bride's mother watches, and the karat stamp and certificate that seal every sale. It traces the market's two locations, in Al Ghanim and near Souq Waqif, and the older Qatari custom behind the trade, when a bride's dowry was gold worn on the body rather than money in a bank.
