When planning a trip, it is important to ensure you have everything you need to travel with an easy mindset to make the most of your adventure. Here is a packing list to help you decide on what you really need on your trip to Qatar.
Qatar is quite humid, especially during the summer months. So it is a good idea to pack some lightweight and breathable attire. Since it is a culturally conservative nation, women are expected to dress modestly without overexposing their arms and legs. Pack some modest casuals and reserve your swimsuits and flimsy summer dresses for the beach. Men generally wear trousers and shirts. So keep your shorts and sleeveless tops to wear on the hotel premises or the beach.
Choose some comfortable footwear when you go out to explore the many wonders that Qatar has to offer. Sandals are best reserved for the beach. If you are planning an adventure on foot to places like Umm Bab, Zekreet Peninsula, Ash Shaqra or Zekreet, take some hiking boots along.
It is vital to keep all your travel documents in a safe place. Make copies of each document and keep them in a safe place just in case of emergencies. Important travel documents you need to take along with you include your passport, visa and vaccination records.
Though many places in the country accept most globally accepted credit cards, it is recommended that you keep a reasonable amount of cash handy. Places like Qatar duty-free accept three types of credit cards: Visa, Master and Diners Club. Rural regions and lesser-explored areas may not have electronic devices handy to accept your card, depriving you of purchasing what you desire.
If you are someone who needs to take medicine regularly, make sure to bring enough to last for your entire trip. Take a copy of the prescription along as well. Pack some first aid essentials like medication that provides effective relief from aches and pains, headaches and muscle soreness.
Take your travel adaptor along with your smartphone so that you can stay seamlessly connected with your friends and family as well as social media during your travels. A power bank too would come in handy if you plan to spend most of your time outdoors.
Planning a seaside retreat? Why not choose Al Wakra, the capital city of the Al Wakra Municipality? The city's eastern region touches the shores of the Persian Gulf and houses some of the best hotels in Qatar. Many photo-worthy sites like Al Janoub Stadium and Al Wakrah Souq are in store for you. So do not forget to grab your camera on the go. If you book yourself into a five-star hotel like Souq Al Wakra Hotel Qatar By Tivoli, you will be nestled close to Souq Al Wakra Beach. So pack some sunscreen, lip balm with SPF, your sunglasses, sandals, a hat and your beach towel.
