Explore Qatar – Things to do

Qatar is a popular transit spot because of its fantastic location that offers access to many other countries easily from one point. For travellers on transit here, how about you explore rather than just sit around when there’s so much adventure awaiting here.

Dune Bashing

Be it a half a day or an overnight stay you are looking forward to, the sand dunes are the best place to spend your time if you are up for a thrill! Get yourself picked up from your hotel and head out into the steep sea of sand dunes for a stay under the stars in a luxurious Arabian tent too!

Souq Waqif

If you are planning on staying at one of the luxury hotels in Doha, then a visit to the city’s famous Souq Waqif is a must! The entire market is a setting from the ancient past that still seems to live on buzzing with life. Find local fabrics, spices, perfumes and many other interesting things you might just end up buying.

The Corniche

This is a 7-kilometre-long stretch of land that stretches out into a promenade. The view from there over the waters is stunning indeed! Sip on a coffee and munch on a small snack while enjoying the evening. You can even fly a kite for a memorable experience.

Museum of Islamic Art

Just a short drive away from Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara, situated opposite the Corniche is this structure that appears to be afloat on the water. Inside the magnificent museum are all forms of Islamic art such as calligraphy and even jewellery.
