Itinerary
Situated near Doha Port, this is a destination that sums up the trendy, unique, eccentric nature of Qatar today. Box Park features vibrantly-coloured, reimagined shipping containers that have somehow become an inspiring destination for explorers of the city. Box Park is filled with metal boxes that used to help transport cargo but have been repurposed as shops, cafés, dining outlets and commercial spaces, with various food trucks nearby. Remember to bring your camera; with walls displaying artistic creativity, it seems Instagram was invented for Box Park.
Sitting in the heart of Doha is Souq Waqif - one of the most popular tourist destinations in Qatar and a major shopping hub too! Souq Waqif is a place where you can hang out with your loved ones, hold a falcon, stroke a camel, watch mounted heritage police officers in traditional 1940s Qatari uniforms and take lots of photographs! Souq Waqif is an iconic destination and no trip to Doha is complete without visiting this place.
A 10km long, palm-fringed promenade and dual carriageway extends in a horseshoe shape around Doha Bay and the city's sea-front. It is lined with hotels, government buildings; lovely open, manicured parks with family facilities and public buildings such as museums and a library. People love to stroll along the corniche, taking in the twinkling sights of the city and the Arabian Gulf.
Is the largest and the most multi-dimensional cultural project of Qatar. It is a place where people come together to experience the cultures of the world. With beautiful theatres, concert halls, exhibition galleries and cutting-edge facilities, Katara aims to become a world leader for multi-cultural activities.
A Riviera style man-made island developed in an exclusive enclave of Doha. It is the Middle East's most glamorous address, covering 400 hectares of reclaimed land and Qatar's first international urban development venture.
Fifteen years ago you may have asked; ‘where’s that?’ but today, Lusail City is not only firmly established on the map but is also indelibly branded in the hearts and minds of Qataris, expatriates and tourists. Along with its iconic stadium that will feature in the World Cup, and a population of around 200,000, Lusail City an quite rightly claim to be the smartest, most technologically advanced smart city in the region, if not the world. Lusail’s high-speed fibre technology network helps give businesses the edge, while residents enjoy an excellent quality of life within a sustainable environment.

City tour of Doha.
The guided tour was fantastic, we passed through the main sights of Doha. Our guide Abdul Nasir was fantastic, very cordial, helpful to take photos, good communication and very friendly. Bonus came a transfer because he picked us up at the airport and at the end we stayed in our hotel.
Knowledgeable
He explained in detail various questions, which taught me a lot about Doha's history and economy. I also had more memories because he was very active in taking pictures. The experience of touching the falcon was particularly impressive and was a good experience.
