There’s so much to see and do in Qatar, no matter what time of year you’re visiting. Be sure to ake time to discover Qatar’s beauty and charm with these three must-see locations.

Purple Island/Al Khor Island: Explore this scenic island by hiking, bird watching, or kayaking through its extensive mangrove reserve, earning it the name, “Land of Mangroves.”

Museum of Islamic Art: This museum complex houses Islamic artifacts and year-round tourist activities such as sporting events, outdoor cafés, art workshops, and pop-up markets.

Film City: Tour this “Ghost Town” in the heart of the Dukhan desert to explore the unique rock formations and the ruins of a mysteriously deserted village.

Let’s explore the world of Qatari delicacies to help you plan your next food tour!

Saloona: This traditional Arabian stew is cooked with chicken, beef, lamb, or fish, along with mildly spiced seasonal vegetables. Enjoy it as is or with rice.

Balaleet: The blend of eggs, vermicelli rice noodles, saffron, sugar, and rose water makes this dish burst with sweet and savory flavors that will leave you surprised!

Warak Enab: The name, “warak enab,” means grape leaves in Arabic, and this snack is filled with rice, herbs, and minced meat. Often paired with a hot cup of coffee!

From pleasant springs to magical winter events, there’s something special to see no matter when you visit Qatar …

March, April, and May: These months between Qatar’s winters and very hot summers are an ideal time to catch a live music night in Doha, enjoy a drink at a rooftop bar, or visit the camel racing wrap-up event in April.

September, October, and November: After the extremely hot summer months, this is when the Qatar streets come back to life. A perfect time to explore the Ar Rakiyat Fort or stroll along the Doha Corniche!

December, January, and February: These are the best months to visit Qatar when the weather is pleasant and suitable for all kinds of activities, from beach days to desert adventures and cultural events.

Qatar is an Islamic country with a conservative dress code, so it’s important to pack clothing that will adhere to the rules (and show respect).

Wrap/Scarf/Pashmina: This can be used to cover your shoulders and chest, keeping your appearance modest.

Light sweater or jacket: The air-conditioning can be chilly in Qatar, and this will come in handy.

Loose-fitting pants/jeans without rips: It’s best not to wear tight-fitting clothing in Qatar, and your clothing shouldn’t have fashionable rips that show off bare skin.
