Travelling to Qatar is always an interesting experience because it's always about a different culture. While you are in this destination, you'll have to respect its rituals and customs, and this will help you enjoy a great stay. Learn about Qatar and then travel for an amazing tour.
Did you know that Qatar gets hot up to 50 degrees Celsius during summer? Yes, that's an unbelievable figure to imagine, but that's not false at all. To face this extreme desert temperature, you need to come prepared. No matter where you out in Qatar, take a scarf, an umbrella, and a water bottle. Don't let yourself get dehydrated, so drink more and more water quite often.
As you must be already knowing, Qatar is a Muslim country, and due to the same reason, the locals wear abayas (women) and long sleeve, ankle-long white thawbs (men). No, the foreigners don't need to wear these traditional dresses but will have to respect Qatar's modest clothing rules for foreign visitors. Cover your shoulders, knees, and upper arms when you are visiting public places, especially if you are visiting Qatar in the holy month of Ramadan.
You can't take any alcohol with you when you visit Qatar. Alcohol is not an event to be found in regular shops, bars, and restaurants. But, if you choose one of the best hotels in Qatar for your stay, its restaurants and bars will have alcohol for you, but at expensive rates.
Although you may find some buses going from one city to another in Qatar, the public transportation network is not that rich in this rich country. But don't worry as long as you have cars! There are taxis you can take, and you may use your Uber app too. Taxis are an easy way to get around in Qatar as they are affordable and available at any moment. Qatar is not a pedestrian-friendly destination, and this can be a very exhausting thing to do when it's too sunny.
Qatar, specifically Doha is a paradise for those who love to shop. If you decide to holiday at Souq Al Wakra Hotel Qatar by Tivoli, Souq Al Wakra is located right next to the hotel, and there are also many other shopping malls that you can explore. Mirqaab Mall, Lagoona Mall, City Centre, Mall of Qatar, and Doha Festival City are some great suggestions for your shopping spree.
If you visit Doha, Qatar during the daytime, you'll feel as if you've come to a ghost town by mistake! You will not be able to spot any living being on the streets and it'll be just the buildings and the cloudless sky. When the sun sets, people slowly come out of their houses and enjoy their moments. Street shops, bazaars, and restaurants all get alive after the sunsets.
