12 hours in Doha, Qatar.
When you have 12 hours
of transit in Doha and want to see the city a little bit. You might be asking
yourself, what is the most interesting to do in the short time and how much it
cost and etc.
The good news is Qatar
airways offers free Doha city tours for transit passengers. Yes, it’s free! You
don’t need to worry about the visa or the transport, that’s all free. All you
have to do is book the free city tour by visiting the Doha City Tour counter at
Doha International Airport. Booking is done on a first-come, first-served basis
and is subject to seat availability on the coach.
The duration of the tour
will take approximately three hours. Despite only having a
three hours in Doha before I travel back to Paris, I manage to see a lot and
profit it.
My tour of Doha begins
with visit the Museum of Islamic art, a museum located on the
Corniche in the Qatari
capital Doha. The iconic building
was designed by architect I. M. Pei.
It’s a stunning work of architecture both inside and out.
The next stop is The Doha Corniche. A waterfront promenade extending for several kilometers along Doha Bay with beautiful landscaped and stunning sky scrapers with a unique architectural work.
After that, Katara Cultural Centre, a very interesting place to
visit. The blue and gold mosaic tiles
of the mosque make a great pictures. This is one of the best places to spend
with family in a lovely evening. You have everything in here. Restaurants,
beaches, rides, water rides, amphitheatre, hangouts, museum, long walk ways,
nice artefacts across the walkway and in the museum.
The Pearl-Qatar is a pleasant place to visit. You can see different kind of luxuries Yatch and boats. It offers a variety of fancy and modern restaurant for all kinds of food preference. A must-visit, for the marvellous architecture and the opulent ambience.
And finally, Souq Waqif "the standing market" is place for selling traditional garments, spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs. Though you can see that the format and architecture is arabic, you can also see a lot of modern structures within.
What I ♡ : A unique and beautiful architecture in the city.
What I don't ♡ : The temperature almost killing me slowly (43ยบ) and this is the place for rich people, everything is expensive. The endless dust and construction.
