Send Flowers to Al Wakrah, Qatar

Before the oil era, Al Wakrah was a fishing and pearling town, and the sea is still the best thing about it. The restored Souq Al Wakrah runs along the beach in a maze of low, sand-coloured courtyards, and families come in the evening to walk the waterfront and eat by the water. Inland, the town has grown fast into a city of villas, apartment buildings and schools, helped by the Doha Metro Red Line, which ends here, and by Al Janoub Stadium, whose curved roof was inspired by the sails of traditional dhow boats.

Al Wakrah is popular with families who want more space than central Doha offers, including many Indian, Filipino and Arab expatriates as well as long-established Qatari families. The town also has a large public hospital, so get-well flowers and bouquets for new mothers are common requests. If you send flowers to Al Wakrah, write the zone, street and building numbers from the blue plate, the villa or flat number and the recipient's mobile number.

A florist in Qatar prepares each order by hand. Delivery is on the next delivery day, Saturday to Thursday, when you order before midnight Qatar time, and never on Fridays. Summer temperatures here are extreme, so the florist will hand the flowers directly to a person indoors.
