Bingo! Families in Qatar love the desert!!! They go to relax on the sandy shore of the Inland Sea, a beautiful shoreline where the desert dunes meet the sea. For some more adventure, they go dune bashing and camping under a starry night’s sky. These are all weekend highlights which make Qatar an ideal destination for some family fun.
You may go for a desert safari during your stopover holiday! A trip to Qatar would not be complete without an incredibly adventurous journey to the desert. For a heart-stopping roller coaster ride over the steep dunes, try a 4x4 off-road safari, a fat bike or have a go at riding a camel.
Hmmm… it’s not the answer. But Qatar is the region’s best when it comes to hotels and glamps (glamour camps).
Regency Sealine Camp Doha is an amazing choice for a staycation. It is set in the Al Wakrah region, and only 5km away from the Inland Sea. One may enjoy the desert and the sea both at the same time, which is a quite unique, 5-star luxury camping experience.
The quality and service standards of Qatar’s hospitality industry match the world’s best. The many international and regional hotel brands boast outstanding facilities - modern well-equipped rooms, elegant public areas, multiple restaurant options, pools, private beaches, gyms, spas, business facilities, and children’s play areas.
Visitors are expected to show respect for local culture and customs in public places by avoiding excessively revealing clothing. It is generally recommended for men and women to cover up from their shoulders to knees.
The Doha Bus offers a tour visiting 21 of the city’s key attractions with the flexibility to hop-on and hop-off anywhere along the bus circuit. Tourists can benefit from the buses’ planned city route by buying a 24-hour pass, then hop-on and hop-off at any stop throughout the day.
Taxis
Most visitors rely on taxis to get around. Karwa taxis are available at certain designated taxi ranks and may be hailed in the street. Bookings can be made 24/7 by calling the Karwa phone number. 30 – 60 minutes is enough of a headstart to book a taxi and ride to your destination.
The monetary unit of Qatar is the riyal (abbreviated to QR or QAR). The exchange rate is pegged to the dollar and fixed at US $1 = QR3.64. There are no foreign exchange controls. ATMs can be found in many locations, and most shops and restaurants accept international credit cards.
