For the most part, a family trip is the best kind of trip. It provides an opportunity for the members of the family to get to know themselves outside of the home setting. When visiting a city such as Doha, there are plenty of things you and your family can enjoy, together.
This is one of the first places that comes to the minds of people when building an itinerary of what to do when visiting Doha. The concept of a Souq is quite easy to understand, it is a market where goods are exchanged, however, the concept is ancient and has been a central part of Middle Eastern cultures for centuries.
In a Souq, you are likely to find yourself completely immersed in the sensations and smells that arise as you walk past condiments, spices and plenty of souvenirs you can take back for your friends.
One of the things to keep in mind if you are looking to visit a Souq for the first time is that there are generally open from 10 am-12 pm and then 4 pm-10 pm. Additionally, keep in mind that they will also be closed during prayer hours.
If you are in Doha on a business trip and have bought family along, do not spend too much of your time in meeting rooms in Doha. Instead, opt to stay in a hotel such as the Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels By Tivoli and explore the landmarks in your vicinity.
This is easily considered one of the artistic landmarks in Qatar. This is true, not only because of the wealth of the art that lies within the buildings of the museum but also for the design of the museum itself. It is considered by many to be the best place for fans of Islamic art to visit. This museum can be found in one of the most frequented parts of Doha.
There is also a prayer room for visiting guests to use and there are also a variety of high-end restaurants that can be found within the museum as well. Their menu ranges from French cuisine to Arabic dishes as well.
This is an ideal place to take your kids when you are in the city. The waterfront promenades are a great place for an evening walk as the sunsets and are also considered an ideal location for some rest and relaxation as well.
This is one of the best places in the country to get an in-depth insight into the culture that is present in Doha. It is considered to be a popular tourist attraction and is filled with cinemas, galleries, shops and music halls.
If you and your family are looking to get away to enjoy the finer things in life, then spending some time in The Pearl is exactly what you need. Be sure to enjoy the beach park as well as the spa services that are currently available before you wrap up your visit.
