Experience Qatar: what to see, what to do
Qatar has so much to offer from unique architecture in Doha, amazing souqs for shopping, sand dunes as big as mountains and ancient ruins from eras long gone.
Essentials in Qatar
Doha: Doha is the capital and the best place to touch down. The Museum of Islamic Art is a must for its collection and architecture. Don't miss the Souq Waqif, the traditional old marketplace where you can buy all your souvenirs.
Khor Al Udeid: Take your Qatar car hire to the norther part of the country and get a load of these sand dunes! With a 4x4 you can rev up and down the dunes… it's a crazy ride!
Zubarah: For history, this is the best place to go. There are ruins of a deserted city here plus a fort built in the 1930s by a sheikh. Makes a good road trip from Doha.

Accommodations in Qatar
Hotel prices are continuously rising in Qatar so expect to pay as much here as in neighbouring countries. In Doha it's difficult to find "budget" accommodation, particularly in Doha so book your hotels in Qatar well in advance for the cheapest rates.
