Things to do in Doha – Qatar

Located near the United Arab Emirates, Qatar is one of the best countries to live in with a lot of opportunities. I had lived in Qatar for the last ten years, and I love every single bit of it where my family and I can have a great time, have great friends, and enjoy the weather.

Living in Doha, the capital, I also get to enjoy the best experiences when it comes to food, household materials, and fun. Here is an outlook of the best things that you will experience coming to Qatar. This is one of the reasons why many individuals choose the place as a perfect holiday or relaxation destination.

Must do

Qatar is very hot in summer, up to a maximum of 50°c and 10°c minimum in winter. Get prepared with the right clothes and weather equipment as you come to enjoy the city. A lot of the population are foreigners who amount to 90% of the total population. You will be surprised just how diverse the people are. I feel comfortable and ride along because the Qatari people are friendly.

An addition Qatar, being a Muslim country, requires public modesty in dressing so make sure your clothes cover your shoulder and go a little bit below the knee for the respect of the culture when you are in a public place. The currency used is Riyal, which is about 25 euro cents.

What I like best about Doha

The perfect climate. It is the best, especially in summer, when you can take advantage of traveling the city and view the buildings, Islands and the city views. We have the best architectural expertise that has curved the city to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. You will appreciate a picture or selfie in one of the buildings and beautiful surroundings. One can have fun all day without having to seriously worry about the change of climate as it is very predictable and very much favorable.

The car collection, Qatari residents, have a great taste of machines and love a good car. It is very normal to spot seven Ferraris and several Jeeps at a normal ride to the city. The men and women love the good luxury life, and there is even a Ferrari Garden inside the capital that showcases a number of such babies.

1 thought on “Things to do in Doha – Qatar”

  1. Qatar is not part of the United Arab Emirates, it is a separate country. In fact, Qatar is currently being economically and politically blockaded by the United Arab Emirates, as well as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Egypt. This fact has made travel between other Gulf countries and Qatar limited and difficult because Qatar Airways is not allowed to overfly or land in the aforementioned countries.
