About this audio guide
This guide to Place Vendôme Mall in Doha follows architect Ibrahim Jaidah's dare: building an open-air Parisian canal beside the Gulf, where summer highs pass forty-five degrees Celsius. It traces the eight years of construction that shuttled the water between glass domes and open plazas before the mall opened in 2022, its entrances named for the streets of Paris. Time your visit to the fountain show, when jets, lights and music run together on the canal.
