There are many major shopping malls in Doha: City Centre, Landmark, Villagio, Hyatt Plaza, Royal Plaza, Salam, and Blue Saloon. The malls are built on a scale that is hard to imagine, with hundreds of shops and restaurants, some with indoor amusement parks for children, and one with not one but two indoor ice rinks. In addition, there are hundreds of traditional ?souqs? which sell merchandise ranging from cloth to electronics, and they are well worth a walking tour.
