Getting there

Walking

Assuming you are in Souq Waqif, start at the main entrance of the Souq. Head towards the central square where you see the various shops and stalls. From the square, look for the Al Jazeera Media Cafe, which is a notable landmark. Walk straight past the cafe until you reach the end of the square. Turn right onto the street that leads towards the Al Jasra area. Continue walking for about 5 minutes; you should see a small park on your left. The Old Well is located just beyond the park. Look for a small path that leads towards the well, which is marked by a traditional Qatari structure.

Asking Locals

If you're unsure of the path, don’t hesitate to ask locals or shopkeepers in Souq Waqif. Most people are friendly and willing to help direct you to the Old Well. Just mention 'Old Well' or show them the address '7GQM+QCP, Doha' on your phone, and they will guide you.
