Embrace Doha has something very special planned for this weekend with ‘Bil Afiya’, their new food tour concept. The brainchild of Amal al-Shammari, Embrace Doha is a local organsation with the sole mission of introducing Qatari culture and society to members of the general public.

Embrace Doha is the first organisation of its kind within Qatar, and we envisage bigger events in the future for them. They have already made a name for themselves with cultural tours and trips, they have now introduced what is being billed as Qatar’s First Ever Food Tour.

Qatar Food Tour

The ‘Bil Afiya’ tour takes place this weekend in one of Doha’s tourist hotspots, Souq Waqif. The tour guides will take guests on an adventure to discover the hidden gems of the souq. It will be a learning journey for visitors and residents alike who may not know much about local Qatari food.

Embrace Doha has indicated that guests will be offered tasty local Qatari Eats, including Machboos and Halawa. The local Qawha coffee will also be sampled.

Embrace Doha’s cultural ambassadors will take guests on a ten-stop food tour within the souq, where they promise to leave you ‘delightfully full’. Just as important is the knowledge of Qatari traditions and hospitality that they will impart. They possess in-depth knowledge about the Arabian Gulf region and Qatar, so take the opportunity to ask any of those burning questions you have about local customs and etiquette.
