Souq
Doha offers many luxurious malls and designer stores for shopping enthusiasts, but for something more authentic, try visiting Souq Waqif, Qatar’s oldest marketplace, and an integral tourist attraction. Here you’ll find handmade goods and traditional food stalls with musical performances. Plus, various festivals are held here as part of its heritage celebrations, giving it its distinctive vibes.
Souq offers a selection of electronics, home furnishings, and clothing for sale at reasonable prices. Additionally, grocery items can also be found there, with bank plans offering monthly installment plans so customers can purchase what they need without breaking the bank. Souq’s primary expenses are marketing and customer support expenditures and fixed costs.
Amazon’s acquisition of Souq was an intelligent strategic move, allowing them to swiftly enter the Middle Eastern e-commerce market. Souq already provides infrastructure that will make expanding operations much more straightforward than starting from scratch.
Drifter
Drifter, which premiered at Berlin’s Panorama and concluded at BFI Flare Film Festivals, respectively, features Lorenz Hochhuth in an emotionally authentic scene as he pleases his boyfriend, making for one of the film’s most compelling. Aimed at capturing certain times and places within Philadelphia’s LGBTQ community, its violent mayhem is executed proficiently enough thanks to washed-out cinematography and eccentric design elements; unfortunately, though, its deathly dullness may put off adventurous arthouse viewers, its depictions of gender-fluid communities make for a modern, freethinking take on genre films.
