1. Shop in the souq

What? Souq Waqif

Where? Dhow harbour

Why? It’s a treasure trove of Arabic spices, handicrafts and entertainment. The market’s authentic architecture comes alive with Arab street life, especially after sunset. Suggest your customers head here for a traditional meal.

2. Admire an art collection

What? Museum of Islamic Art

Where? Doha port

Why? This collection of art and artefacts spans 14 centuries. Guided tours are available, or visitors can explore the five-floor building independently. On the top floor, they can dine at Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasses’ IDAM restaurant.

3. Drive over the dunes

What? Desert experiences and Khor Al Adaid

Where? Southwest of Doha

Why? High sand dunes and expansive skies are perfect for jeep safaris, parachuting and, at night, stargazing. Khor Al Adaid, the Unesco-listed “Inland Sea”, lies to the south – it’s one of the only places in the world where the sea encroaches into the desert.

4. Board a Dhow boat

What? Dhow boat cruise

Where? Dhow harbour

Why? The country’s seafaring 
heritage is epitomised during a traditional wooden Qatari dhow boat cruise from the harbour. Full-day, half-day and evening sightseeing excursions, including a meal, can be arranged in advance for your clients.
