Qatar

Qatar is a small peninsula state where almost everything sits within an hour of Doha, from the corniche and museums to inland sea dunes on the Saudi border. It works well as a stopover of two to four days. Summer heat is severe, so the season runs from November to March.

Cities

Doha

Doha runs along a curved corniche between the rebuilt Souq Waqif and a skyline of towers in West Bay. Museums are the strongest draw, particularly the Museum of Islamic Art. Desert trips to the inland sea leave from the southern edge of the city.
