Area & Activities

Discover Qatar

Get local and explore Doha. From towering skyscrapers and sand dunes to ancient architecture and rock carvings, Doha is where majesty meets metropolitan style, art meets archaeology, history meets haute couture and nature meets nightlife.

Nestled by the sparkling blue waters of the Arabian Gulf and set against a breathtaking, exotic desert landscape, begin your Arabian adventure on the Corniche, Doha’s main promenade. From bustling downtown and the exhilarating Museum of Islamic Art, you’ll soon find yourself in postcard-perfect, palm-fringed beaches where the waters are as warm as the city’s hospitality.

Explore historical forts, beautiful palaces and culturally rich museums, or marvel at the dazzling skyline from a slow sunset cruise around the bay. Race camels at Al-Shahaniya or view an unrivalled collection of Arabian thoroughbreds and racehorses at Al Shaqab. Discover the narrow, spice-scent alleys of the old market area at the Souq Waqif and put your bargaining power to the test, or shop tax-free in sophisticated malls and at The Pearl, featuring the world’s top brands and boutiques.

Check out the Katara Village, a multidimensional cultural destination that features concerts, operas, beach activities, and restaurants serving international cuisines. Tee off at the Middle East’s best golf course, or make your way to Khor Al Adaid, the splendid inland sea where you can camp in a Bedouin tent under the stars. Watch the world go by at a traditional shisha café or indulge in world-class gastronomy at a destination restaurant.

Home to the prestigious Education City and the booming Qatar Financial Center, why not mix business with pleasure? Whether you’re winding down or gearing up, there’s always something to do in Doha.
