Situated along the coast of the Persian Gulf, Doha is a beautiful city filled with spectacular views that only Qatar could offer. It is the capital of Qatar and its largest city. Doha mixes traditional Arabic culture and themes with modern architecture, allowing an environment to please any eager tourist.
EscapeWizard.com invites you to visit the city of Doha, Qatar. The major international airport, Doha International Airport (DOH), is located approximately 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) from the heart of the city. EscapeWizard.com wants to assist you in your travel planning by making your flight search easy. Simply click on the following link (www.escapewizard.com/flight.php) and let us work our magic! After we have found your perfect flight options, allow EscapeWizard.com to search for convenient and affordable hotel options to fit your itinerary and budget. Click on the following link to be directed to our hotel search page (www.escapewizard.com/hotels.php?flag=htl). Let EscapeWizard.com help you plan your trip to Doha today!
An EscapeWizard.com favorite and must-do is Dhow Cruising. It is one of the most popular recreation activities in Qatar to relax both your spirit and your mind—perfect after a long flight. It is the best way to view the city and its surroundings while having an unforgettable experience in the process. A dinner cruise is also an available option. It is the perfect way to capture the beautiful nightscapes of Doha while the moon shines down on you as you feast on a delectable meal.
EscapeWizard.com suggests a visit to the Museum of Islamic Art. The building itself is an architectural marvel and the authentic and intricate Arabic art housed within is well-worth experiencing. You will get a feel for the eye of the Arabic artist as well as Islam’s artistic and cultural history. From there, a stride on the Corniche is highly recommended. It is a promenade extending about 4 miles along the bay of Doha. The modern city’s infrastructure lines your path on one side, and to your other side, the bay offers breathtaking views of the sparkling sea. You will also stumble upon interesting old fisherman boats docked along harbor alcoves. Just south of the Corniche lies another architectural marvel waiting for you to explore—the Grand Mosque. It is one of the largest mosques in Qatar and contains many domes. It blends together both traditional Arabic and Modern architecture.
If you love historic ruins, located just 15 kilometers (about 9 miles) north of Doha is Umm Salal Mohammed which contains two historic ruins sites. The first contains an old fort comprised of two remaining towers, an interesting mosque, and another remaining architectural structure. The second site is a tower located a few minutes away from the first site. It is situated amongst palm trees adjacent to a mosque. As you will notice, the bottom portion of the tower was used as living quarters. There are also steps leading to the top of the tower; although not accessible to the public, the steps are still thought-provoking to observe from below.
Are you a shopaholic? If you answered yes, Doha is the perfect destination for you. With tons of malls and shopping arenas to choose from you will be blown away by all the fashions Doha has to offer. An EscapeWizard.com favorite is the Villaggio Shopping Mall. When you step into this Venetian-style mall you will be immediately transported to the Italian city of Venice. A canal with floating Gondolas flows straight through the Villaggio. In true Italian fashion, feel free to hop on one of the Gondolas and ride it throughout your shopping adventure. Each area of the mall is dedicated to a specific time of day so be sure to take a stroll at sunset with your special someone.
EscapeWizard.com promises you a trip of a lifetime to the culturally-renowned city of Doha, Qatar.
