Visit the Villaggio Mall for some of the best shopping in Doha. You’ll find a lavish shopping center decorated in Venetian-style art and architecture complete with its very own winding canal. Explore the huge range of fashion stores as you wander over pretty bridges and under beautifully ornate ceilings.
The Villaggio Mall is no ordinary complex. Covering 45 acres (18 hectares), it encompasses not just fashion boutiques, but also a huge entertainment complex and fairground. With 13 luxury cinemas, an IMAX screen, an ice-skating rink, bowling alley and the enormous Gondolania amusement park, you will need much more than a day to see it all.
Enjoy a day of shopping in the elegant surroundings. Browse global brands including Louis Vuitton, Prada, Christian Dior, Cavalli, Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana, as well as GAP, Dune, H&M and Mango. Don’t miss the designer jewelry, footwear, and health and beauty stores either. Over 50,000 shoppers a day visit the mall, and it’s easy to see why this is one of the most popular attractions in the city.
When it’s time for a break, treat yourself to a gondola ride through the mall’s winding canal and imagine you are in Italy’s Venice. There is a selection of fine dining restaurants too, as well as quick eats in the food hall for a lunch on the go.
The Villaggio Mall is located on Al Waab Street in the west end of the city and within Aspire Zone in the Baaya Municipality, 8 miles (13 kilometers) from Doha’s city center. Getting here is easy. Travel on one of the regular buses leaving Al Ghanim Bus Station, which takes approximately 40 minutes, or drive or take a taxi in under 30 minutes. The mall is open daily from early morning until late evening. Visit the Villaggio Mall official website for more information.
