Qatar might be a relatively small country, but there are lots of exciting things to do there while on holiday. Most of the excitement is concentrated in Doha, which is the favourite tourist destination of the nation.
Souq Waqif means Standing Market. This is a traditional bazaar that has stood the test of time. It is filled with local merchants who sell everything from textiles, perfumes to food and spices. You can spend almost a full day here exploring the shops, bargaining with the vendors, and taking in the culture. There are also ample restaurants and cafes that you can visit for breaks.
Pearl Qatar is an island that has been manmade and is known for cradling the richest of the city. It is home to yachts, luxury stores, high-end restaurants, and gated upper-class communities. Some cruises are organised from the mainland to Pearl Qatar, which can give you a wholesome experience. This is a place at which you can spend your day relaxing, possibly after attending a meeting at one of the Doha event venues.
During your time at Souq Al Wakra Hotel Qatar by Tivoli, you will be offered a dune adventure. Deserts are a core part of this region of the world and dune adventures go hand in hand. You can go on a desert safari, ride on a camel and spend the night under the stars of the deserts. However, the most exciting activity to do in the area is to go on a four-wheel drive. This can be an exhilarating experience for even the most experienced and skilled driver.
This is the ideal way to breathe in the freshness and beauty of Doha Bay. The Doha Corniche is a promenade that allows people to walk by the sea. You can spend a few minutes relaxing amidst your busy schedule in Doha. If you are going on an organised tour, this has to be on the list.
The Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum is the perfect place to go if you are a fan of vintage cars. This museum has multiple other sections that specialise in art, heritage, and coins. However, the vehicle section is truly exceptional. This consists of the Sheikh's private car collection that has over six hundred vehicles.
This is also known as the valley of cultures. It is adorned with beautiful architecture that imitates Qatari culture such as an opera house, galleries, cafes, heritage centres, and more. You can spend the day marvelling at the beauty of these structures while learning more about the history of the region.
Qatar is one place in the world where you can go on a skydiving experience. Most service providers in the area have perfect track records. This can be a great way to tick one of the most awaited items off your bucket list.
