Doha in a Day: What to Do in 24 Hours
Let us tell you where you can go if a traveler has only one day to explore the capital of Qatar.
1.Sightseeing in the bazaar (Suk Vakif).
This is the best way to start your Doha itinerary in one day. Suq Waqif is certainly not the Pearl of Qatar, but its visit is curious, especially if you have never been to a country with such a culture.
It is very important that you observe the rules of their religion, they are very strict. If you are a woman, keep your shoulders covered and avoid shorts. Men should not wear shorts above the knees.
There are plenty of stores for handicrafts, jewelry stores, but this is a very different world from the Western world. Suq Waqif is the most traditional neighborhood in Doha and has nothing to do with the business center across the bay.
2. Visit the Museum of Islamic Art.
This is one of the most beautiful buildings to visit in Doha in one day. The museum is located next to the bay. Its visit is highly recommended on a day tour of Doha. There is no need to go inside, although many will not hesitate to do so depending on how hot it is to feel relieved. The architecture and views from the museum are very beautiful.
3. Take a walk along the Corniche Promenade.
This is the most beautiful place in Doha. Wandering there for a while, enjoying the sea breeze and admiring the modern scenery of the Qatari capital is a real pleasure. However, the famous sandstorms can spoil your view.
4. Be amazed by the luxury of the Villagio Qatar.
For shopping lovers, this luxury mall is a must-see. It is inspired by the Venice Hotel in Las Vegas, you can even take a gondola ride on the canal that runs through the shopping center. Of course, if you are going to shop, go with a full wallet, as it is considered one of the most expensive malls in the world.
You can also take the opportunity to eat there, as there are many restaurants in Doha where you can eat quite with quite reasanable price.
5. The Pearl of Qatar.
If you have free time, try to get here. The artificial archipelago "The Pearl of Qatar" was created for sheikhs and millionaires. Here are the most luxurious hotels and businesses of the city and the country. Here every 50 meters you can see a Ferrari. No one will be left indifferent to the Porto Arabia marina, located in this area, where you will see impressive yachts and boats.
