It is tempting when visiting Doha to focus on the beaches, the desert activities and shopping in air-conditioned malls.  However you really ought to take some time out to walk down the streets of Souq Waqif.  Here you will be transported back in time. True, not everything on sale will be traditional but you will get the ambiance, the smells and experience haggling with the locals that you is difficult to find elsewhere.  The architecture alone is worth the trip. A trip to Souq Waqif should be close to the top of your list of things to experience in Doha.

Fancy taking a trip out of town.  There are various options but whichever you choose you cannot fail to be impressed by the scenery.  Choose your mode of transport carefully, a leisurely ride on a camel, a smooth ride in a jeep or seat of your pants ride in dune buggy.

Many of us have daydreamed about riding a camel and going on a desert safari. It’s one of those classic adventurer experiences, and amazingly this is one of the best things to do in Doha.
