Overview

Discover the best of Doha with a knowledgeable local guide. Start at the Corniche for skyline views, visit the iconic Museum of Islamic Art (exterior & park), and stroll through the lively lanes of Souq Waqif and the Falcon Souq. Continue to Katara Cultural Village with its amphitheatre, mosques and pigeon towers, and finish at The Pearl-Qatar's luxury marina. Includes air-conditioned transport and pickup from your hotel, airport or cruise terminal.

What to expect

Doha is warm for much of the year, so wear light clothing and comfortable walking shoes, and bring sunglasses. When visiting mosques, souqs and heritage areas please dress modestly — shoulders and knees covered is a good rule of thumb. Our vehicles are fully air-conditioned, so you can cool off between stops.
