Doha Holidays
Discover a glittering modern metropolis
The star of Qatar
Doha encapsulates the duality of the Gulf, pitting the heritage of the desert-dwelling Bedouin against heady new wealth from oil and gas. Once the preserve of stopovers and business trips, now holidays in Doha open up a whole new world in the desert. With temperatures soaring in the summer but settled in the mid-twenties in winter, there are plenty of indoor and outdoor pursuits to enjoy.
Disembarking from flights to Doha, you’ll find the expected skyscraper architecture and luxury malls, but scratch the surface and you’ll find thriving traditions of souks, sociable coffee houses and desert falconry. The ritzy West Bay district is where many of the biggest hotels cluster, though the city’s heart beats louder at Souq Waqif, Doha’s oldest traditional bazaar, now newly revamped and updated but still retaining its buzz and atmosphere. Off the waterfront Corniche, Doha’s world-class Museum of Islamic Art could fill an absorbing half day. As host city for the FIFA World Cup 2022, among many other major events, Doha is a metropolis with plenty to prove.
