Corniche
0.8 miles from city centre
“Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside”. The Corniche is a horseshoe-shaped bay that overlooks the Persian Gulf. The Museum of Islamic Art juts into the bay – four floors of stunning artistry, with the building to match. Grab dinner at the Orient Pearl before an evening stroll on the promenade, where the city lights form a romantic backdrop.

West Bay
5 miles from city centre
West Bay’s all about the high life – and not just because of its many skyscrapers. This is where high fliers splash their considerable “riyals”, in five-star hotels and luxury shops. Break the bank with dinner at Market Restaurant or New York Steakhouse. Cap off the day in style with a front-row seat at Katara Cultural Village’s theatres.
Places to stay from £50 per night
The Pearl
5.8 miles from city centre
Pearls – shiny and expensive caprices. Much like this Doha district. This artificial peninsula is made from earth from the seabed, pumped up and poured into a neat series of bays. The result is Doha’s most exclusive address, where swanky villas come with jetties for million-dollar yachts. Tap into the life of Reilly with a sushi feast at Midori.
Places to stay from £99 per night
Doha's transformation into a premier Gulf city has seen many ages, from its legacy as a pearling and fishing village at the beginning of the 20th century to the ultra-modern business hub it is today. The rapidly developing city showcases a skyline of futuristic high-rises lined up against the coast of the Persian Gulf, best admired through a traditional ‘dhow’ cruise or a walk along the Doha Corniche.
Adventure sports in Doha are all about its sand, sky and sea. The dramatic terrain of Doha’s deserts makes it an ideal destination for dune bashing and quad biking. You can enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the city from a relaxed hot-air balloon ride or by freefalling from a plane with your skydiving instructor. To experience the beauty of Qatar’s shoreline and clear waters, you can give water sports such as surfing, kayaking and scuba diving a go.
The capital city of Qatar welcomes all types of travellers and shoppers. You can take a stroll along the winding lanes and mud-daubed structures of the Souq Waqif, a marketplace that sells handicrafts, spices and souvenirs. Steering away from the traditional market, you can explore high-street and luxury brands at plush arcades such as the Villaggio, Mall of Qatar and Lagoona Mall.

The metros worked brilliantly and were so inexpensive. We also found that we could walk to most places and that the times given on Google Maps overestimated the length of time it took to get places. We loved eating dinner at the Souq Waqif and exploring the sites. We found we didn't need a guide for seeing the city sites and enjoyed riding the metro to see them.

Doha is a very modern city with amazing infrastructure and a great public transport system (built on the back of the World Cup). However it is very expensive - especially for those on a tight budget.
Awesome city to visit!

It was a nice stay. I travelled to Doha to attend Web Summit Qatar Event, it was amazing and I went to some museums and Souq Waqif and definitely majority of the big malls like City Center Mall, Mall of Qatar, Lagoona Mall, ... And was definitely using Metro instead of taxis because it's easier for transportation and less expensive, just 2QAR per trip
