City Center Doha

Doha


A trip to City Center Doha is more event than errand for its congregations of juice-sipping Qataris and huddles of homesick expatriates. In addition to its 350 shops, tented architecture, marble flooring and glass-fronted lifts, there's an ice-skating rink, bowling alleys and climbing walls. Kids will especially enjoy the basement den filled with pool tables, arcade games and PlayStation consoles.
