The Middle East's Leading City Destination 2024

Qatar offers a blend of heritage, luxury, modern flair and a warm Arabian welcome. Lively souq marketplaces, stunning museums and dhow sailing boats create a rich background for your visit. 

Doha's global crossroads is the perfect location for entertaining and after-event business meets – choose from Michelin-starred menus, five-star café culture, skyscraper terrace lounges, breathtaking city views or waterfront cabanas.

If you have extra time set aside, make the most of Doha with a personal tour or immerse in its live sporting culture. 

Getting around Doha

There are many ways to explore the city – from the barrier-free Metro to eco-trams, street taxis and pre-booked electric limos. Like any capital, Doha can experience rush-hour traffic and it's best to factor this into your schedule if you’re planning a journey at peak city travel times.

Sport in the city

Qatar has a proud sporting heritage and hosts numerous world cups. Tee off at championship golf courses, soak up the warm Arabian Gulf waters, visit the Olympic museum, or extend your stay to catch some motorsports or mixed martial arts.

Eating out in Doha
