Travelling to Doha, Qatar for a holiday sounds great, but make sure you are aware of the culture and the other details about this new destination before you go. Remember that knowing things in advance can make you stay away from embarrassments and troubles. Read this article!
If you are not used to temperatures of more than 30 degrees Celsius, then you will have to come prepared to experience the highest temperature levels when you come to Qatar.

You will have to get accustomed to exploring Qatar attractions in the scorching sun which can sometimes make you exhausted. Keep yourself hydrated all the time.
As you must be already aware, Qatar is a Muslim country. Locals most often wear their traditional costumes, but that doesn't imply that you have to wear their traditional suits too. But Qatar appreciates the modest clothing concept. As long as you cover your shoulders, upper arms, and knees, you are okay to enter public places in Qatar. This rule applies to both men and women. Carry a scarf with you wherever you go, so you may use that if any requirement arises.
One of the major Muslim festivals that Qataris celebrate is the holy month of Ramadan. If you visit Qatar during this holy period and stay at one of the Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels By Tivoli, you better stay at your venue without going out. This is because, all most all the shops, supermarkets, and restaurants are kept closed during this period. Stay at your hotel and explore how the locals get ready for their biggest festival in the year.
You are not allowed to carry any alcohol into the country when you are coming to Qatar. You will not even find alcohol at general shops, bars, and restaurants. You will have to head to one of the hotels in Doha Qatar if you want to find alcohol, but these can be pretty expensive. Remember that!
Don't choose to walk around when in Doha because this can be an exhausting experience. Qatar has a local bus network, but if you want a more efficient method to get around, you have cars. Taxis (including Uber) are common in Qatar and their charges are also very fair.
Did you know that the FIFA World Cup 2022 will be held in Doha, Qatar? Yes, Doha will be hosting this international event and the city is facing massive developments because of the same reason.
