The Centre
The Centre is one of Doha's older and more established shopping malls, conveniently located on Salwa Road. Unlike the newer, more extravagant retail destinations in Qatar, The Centre is known for providing a practical and value-oriented shopping experience, primarily catering to local residents and families. It focuses on everyday essentials, electronics, home furnishings, and popular regional fashion brands. Its anchor store, Safari Hypermarket, is a major draw for groceries and household items due to its extensive selection and convenient extended operating hours. The mall prioritizes accessible and efficient shopping for daily needs over large-scale entertainment or luxury offerings.
