Over the past few years, Qatar has cemented itself as one of the best places to visit in the Middle East. This is in large part due to all the amazing things you can do here – so, here’s a look at the best activities you can try out during your time in Qatar.
Explore the Souq Waqif
The Souq Waqif is the busiest and most lively place you can visit in the whole of Qatar. This bustling shopping precinct was built on top of an ancient market quite appropriately. Now, if you’re planning to get your hands on some trinkets and souvenirs, this is the place to be.
Visit the Museums
Doha – the capital city of Qatar – has some of the best museums you’ll find in the entire Middle East. In particular, you’ll want to seek out the National Museum of Qatar and the Museum of Islamic Art. Both of this showcase a myriad of exhibits that will leave you mesmerised.
Find the Falcon Souq
Qatar is a haven for falconers and the Falcon Souq is their stronghold. You can visit here to learn more about the art of falconry, its historical roots, and see the amazing birds at the heart of the sport for yourself.
Take a Stroll at the Park
Now, if you’re staying at one of the Doha suites – at say, for instance, the Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara – you should definitely consider making a quick trip to MIA Park before heading to the island. This is a tranquil garden that’s perfect for you to relax and take it easy in.
