Souq Al Wakrah (Arabic: سوق الوكرة, lit.'bird's nest marketplace'; also known as Al Wakrah Heritage Village) is a reconstructed traditional marketplace in the coastal city of Al Wakrah, Qatar, approximately 19 km (12 mi) south of the capital Doha. Situated directly on Al Wakrah Beach, the souq incorporates traditional architectural features and heritage elements, and includes both old-fashioned houses and commercial spaces. The souq was opened in late 2014, in conjunction with Qatar National Day.
