Shopping malls in Doha shopping are one of a kind; they are not your typical malls where you go in, buy something and head out. They’re complete social hubs with great restaurants that serve freshly cooked meals. This blog outlines all the great places you can fit into your itinerary and have the whole Doha shopping experience.

Al Hazm

With spectacular architecture, this place looks more like a palace than a mall. You’ll also feel like royalty the moment you step in; literally translating to “the higher grounds” Al Hazm has all the things your heart desires. This mall has a great collection of designer brands for you to choose from and even if you don’t buy anything the experience you get here is unmatched.

City Centre Mall Doha

Just located 30 mins from Doha suites such as the gorgeous and luxurious Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara, the City Centre is one of the most popular places to shop till you drop in Doha. You can find over 50 different international brands, great restaurants and cafes, and you can even grab your weekly groceries!

Doha Festival City

Prepare yourself for a workout, because this is the largest mall in all of Doha. There are more than 500 stores including an Ikea; if you’ve moved here for your job, you can get all your furniture and other essentials from this one place. If you feel like you’ll get lost, there are digital maps all over the place and on your carts too.

Ezdan Mall

You can find three Ezdan Malls but the most popular is their location in Al Gharrafa. It is a very pleasant experience as it’s relatively quiet with brands such as Bath and Body Works and Aldo. There’s also a Magnolia Bakery if you feel like channelling your inner Carrie Bradshaw.
