City Centre
This is probably the biggest of all the shopping malls and is based in the heart of Doha. It houses several of the high street shops we have in the UK, Monsoon, Next and Debenhams to name but a very few. There are lots of Qatari shops new to me, and are obviously aimed at the local population.
Home ware shopping is well catered for with exceptional furniture and household accessories shops, where you can buy anything from a tea-towel to a sofa or bed. Carrefour have an extremely large branch within the centre and also carry’s a lot of home ware lines as well as electicals, gardening and clothing products.
Cafés and restaurants are in abundance, with the 3rd floor having a dining area. You can have anything from local cuisine to KFC and burger king. There is a Starbucks on 2 floors along with various other coffee houses. There are plenty of toilet facilities, and prayer rooms are available on all floors. Parking can be a bit of an issue in busy times, but the centre itself never feels busy or rushed. Air conditioning ensures the centre feels comfortable at all times of year.
Centre Point
Situationed just off the C ring, junction after Toys R Us, this is a small but extremely useful centre for household items. There is a large Home Store, from which you could furnish and decorate your entire home.
There is also an electric store which carry’s everything from TV’s to portable disc drives to hair straighteners. It also has a couple of clothing / fashion shops and a large Shoe mart store.
There is a small eating area with a few menu choices, including a Costa coffee and a Baskin Robbins ice cream parlour. Toilet and prayer facilities are also available in this area.
Parking is underground, and again, can be very busy at weekends.
