Doha's malls do double duty as shopping destinations and air-conditioned escapes from the heat, and several go well beyond standard retail with genuinely distinctive design.
Villaggio Mall
Styled after an indoor Venetian streetscape, complete with painted sky ceiling and an internal canal with gondola rides, Villaggio is as much an attraction as a shopping centre, with a large indoor entertainment and ice-skating area alongside its retail units.
Place Vendôme
Part of the newer Lusail development, Place Vendôme takes its design cues from its Parisian namesake, with a large adjoining indoor entertainment area that includes ice skating.
Mall of Qatar and Doha Festival City
Two of the largest malls by footprint, both offering a broad mix of international retail alongside cinemas and family entertainment — reliable options if you want one-stop shopping and dining without the more elaborate theming of Villaggio or Place Vendôme.
