The highlights
Qatar is compact, so a few days give you world-class museums, traditional markets and a night in the desert. Your advisor helps you choose where to stay in Doha, plans desert excursions with expert drivers, and times your visit for the cooler months.
The Museum of Islamic Art, designed by I. M. Pei, a seven-kilometer waterfront promenade and the towers of West Bay.
Doha’s historic market of spices, textiles and falcons, with lantern-lit lanes and restaurants that stay busy late into the evening.
Galleries, an amphitheater, a beach and the much-photographed pigeon towers, with concerts and festivals through the cooler months.
A man-made island of marinas, canals and waterfront dining, with the new city of Lusail and its stadium just to the north.
The Inland Sea, a protected natural reserve where tall dunes meet the water, reached by 4×4 with an experienced driver.
Desert light, ocean breezes and a warm Gulf welcome.
One advisor to shape every day around you.
Experiences
Every journey begins with what matters most to you.
The National Museum of Qatar, inspired by the desert rose, and the collections of the Museum of Islamic Art.
Dinner under the stars and a night in a private camp near the dunes of the south.
Richard Serra’s East-West/West-East in the Brouq Nature Reserve, and the rock formations of the Zekreet peninsula.
Overwater villas, water sports and quiet beach days a short boat ride from the city.
Gentle camel rides over the dunes with local guides, best at sunrise or late afternoon.

Very hot from June to September, with museums, hotel pools and indoor dining.
Temperatures ease from October, and outdoor dining and desert trips return.
Mild, sunny days from December to February, the most popular time to visit.
Questions
November to March offers the most comfortable weather for the desert, the souqs and outdoor dining. Summer is very hot, though museums and hotels make it easy to stay cool.
Three to four days allows time for Doha’s museums, Souq Waqif, Katara and a desert excursion. Many travelers add Qatar as a stopover on the way to Asia, Africa or the Indian Ocean.
Nonstop flights from New York to Doha take about 12 hours. We arrange the flights, transfers and any stopover hotel nights.
Light, modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees is respectful in public places such as souqs and museums. Swimwear is fine at hotel pools and beaches.
Yes. Qatar pairs easily with Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jordan or a longer journey to Asia or Africa. We plan the connections so the trip flows.
U.S. citizens can generally visit Qatar without a visa for short stays, with a passport valid for at least six months. Entry rules change, so we confirm the current requirements for your trip.
