Not only is Doha, Qatar quite a surreal city to visit – with the recent developments of a wide range of hotel chains, shopping complexes, and entertainment options. Here’s a little more you need to know about Doha before you plan your holiday!
Weather
Remember, Qatar can get quite warm during the summer months. Together with Doha being a coastal location, humidity is also added to the mix. However, with plenty of air-conditioned 5-star hotels in Doha, the likes of Souq Al Wakra Hotel Qatar by Tivoli, you are able to beat the heat. The high season for Doha is usually from November to March, when the weather is comparatively cooler.
Culture
While foreigners are not required to cover their hair or dress in abayas, Qatar is still an Islamic nation, therefore, you’re expected to dress conservatively. Also, alcohol is strictly regulated so don’t try to bring it into the country – most hotels are permitted to serve alcohol. Avoid public displays of affection.
Attractions
The city of Doha has plenty of attractions for every type of traveller. To keep you entertained, you can pay a visit to the Museum of Islamic Art, Souq Waqif and Doha Corniche – among the many other attractions.
