Qatar Foundation is inviting community members of all ages to visit its new Friday Souq, which is being held every week at Oxygen Park in Education City.
Visitors to the family-friendly market can find something to suit all tastes, including a diverse range of stalls selling food, clothes, handmade products and other goods, as well as a children’s playground and an array of activities including painting, coloring, and henna. The Friday Souq also has a kids’ care facility where parents can leave their children to play while they shop.
“I was keen to come to Education City to experience the Souq for the first time, because I have visited the Torba Farmers Market at QF regularly with my children,” said Hessa Al-Marri, a visitor to the Friday Souq on its first day of operation last week. “These kinds of events always have a pleasant atmosphere, and Oxygen Park is an excellent location, where various outdoor activities can be enjoyed. “These events are an ideal opportunity for all members of the community to visit QF and see the facilities here, including the Education City Mosque. We look forward to coming to QF for more activities in the future.”

Friday Souq visitor Abdallah Al Yusuf said: “I chose to spend part of the weekend at the Friday Souq at Oxygen Park because it allowed me to take my family for lunch and shopping.
“Being here in the afternoon in good weather meant we have already had a good time, and we will make sure to visit every Friday. This market is characterized by the way it welcomes visitors from different age groups, offers activities to suit everyone, has a relaxed atmosphere, and sells a diverse range of handmade goods, clothing, and food. It is a good way to enjoy a Friday.”
The Friday Souq is open every Friday until December 13 from 9am-9pm. All children’s activities are free.
