A honeymoon is a time for relaxation away from routine life, a time to learn to enjoy the intimacy with your partner. Doing this in a setting of your choice fosters the relationship, which is the foundation for a strong marriage.
Do a day trip to Khor Al Adaid, an inland sea to the south of Qatar to experience the sun, the sparkling sand, and crystal-clear water. As you gaze towards the ocean you will be mesmerized by the beauty of the setting and will want to linger, just the two of you. Go with a picnic basket and spend a few hours during which you can capture memories to last a lifetime.
A companionable walk down the ancient yet delightful market of Doha, Souq Waqif will be an experience not to be missed as you learn the interests and know-how of your partner. The plethora of inviting stalls displaying pashminas, jackets, spices, dried fruit, nuts, souvenirs will draw you in to indulge one another. Find a light snack or ice cream from the many street carts you find along the way to keep you filled and hydrated.
Specially curated romantic spa treatments are an ideal way to pamper each other and heighten the sensational experience for both. Select a package that would create the ambience, aromatic elements and just the right indulgence to make you feel relaxed, and in a romantic mood to experience the pleasure and joy each can give the other. Such experience as provided at many spa hotels in Doha can only strengthen the bond between the two of you.
The early evening would be the best time to visit the Doha Corniche and its curated promenade making it an inviting and lively waterfront. Many visitors such as those staying at Al Najada Doha Hotel by Tivoli
enjoy the view of dhows, the landmark buildings such as the Museum of Islamic Art, and other skyscrapers whilst enjoying a local coffee, snacks or a meal.
An ideal setting for honeymooners, this man-made wonder is just 30 minutes from Doha by car or taxi. Experience the exclusive atmosphere of what one may call the Arabian version of Riviera. It can be a one-night stay, a short day trip, or a longer one to browse at the luxury boutiques, experience fine dining, and feel transported on a 'Pearly' adventure!
Book an overnight desert safari to experience twilight in the desert. Enjoy a sumptuous barbeque at the campsite with open fire pits being lit as you linger to watch the stars come out. Retire to your Bedouin-style tent to experience the romance of sleeping under a starlit sky. The only sounds that will disturb you will be the grains of sand whistling over the slopes of dunes!
Visit Katara, a village for arts and culture beholding an awesome amphitheatre, entertaining visuals and an array of events taking place. The many food outlets make it possible for one to linger and spend time enjoying the essence of Qatari culture.
