What to do in Doha

Experience the opulence of the Middle East in dazzling Doha! Look beyond the cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi and visit the rising star of Qatar. From skyscrapers to deserts, museums and souks, you’re bound to have a great time in Doha.

Strike a pose in front of the amazing Museum of Islamic Arts, Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim Museum, and the National Museum of Qatar before you spend hours admiring their exhibits. Enjoy the artworks at Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, the Orientalist Museum, and Photography Museum.

See more wonderful architecture all over Doha and stop by Al Koot Fort, the city’s Clock Tower, the Windtower House, and the district of Al Najada. You can also feast your eyes in Doha’s Al Corniche for the loveliest view of the sea and skyscrapers.

Have a lovely arvo at Al Rumailah Park with the family. Bring the kids to Doha Zoo and say hello to the animals. Head to the beaches of the Grand Hyatt, Diplomatic Club, InterContinental, the Katara Cultural Village beach and many more.

Spend your Qatari Rial in the city’s grand malls such as City Center Doha, Ezdan Mall, Villaggio Mall, and Hyatt Plaza. But if you want to spend your Qatari Rial at the traditional shops of Doha, take your pick of the Gold Souq, Frabric Souq, and Omani Souq.

Don’t forget to test your bargaining skills at Souq Waqif to get the best souvenirs, and save the rest of your money for a bite to eat in the market’s restaurants and shisha cafes.
