Qatar Vacations
Feel the wonder of Qatar, where golden deserts, ribbons of blissful beaches and shimmering turquoise seas all lead to the delights of Doha, a vibrant coastal capital where remarkable restaurants cater to all tastes and awe-inspiring public art sits on every corner. Our Qatar travel packages allow for days discovering these majestic landscapes and the energy of the city. A trip to Qatar might mean mornings kitesurfing on the Arabian Gulf's gentle waters, paragliding and paratriking over landscapes where rolling dunes meet the green-blue sea during sunny afternoons, or feasting on Qatari dishes by flickering fire pits during nights in Bedouin camps. And if you want your 2026 Qatar vacation to be a relaxing getaway, Qatar's decadent hotel scene includes serene seafront spa retreats and glamorous beach resorts alongside Doha's design destinations and futuristic skyscraper settings.
Doha also delivers everything else you might hope for during a city break or stopover. A historic market perfumed by delicious drifts of oud and fresh spices, Souq Waqif is a treasure trove of fine fabrics and glistening jewelry, alongside casual cafés serving sizzling shawarmas. There's so much to discover, and when you book a Qatar vacation package you can get great deals on hotels and all-inclusive resorts in Doha's West Bay, Diplomatic Area or Msheireb Downtown districts.
Qatar trip itinerary suggestions
Although 24 hours won't feel long enough, Qatar's compact size and Hamad International Airport's efficiency means one-day visitors can easily access many highlights quickly. From the airport, it's a short drive to Doha's Museum of Islamic Art to discover one-of-a-kind objects of wonderous beauty. Across the street, Souq Waqif's shaded passageways contain gifts and curios - and even a falcon hospital. For an indulgent upbeat lunch or glamorous brunch, Al Maha island's soft sands are lined by chic beach clubs, though the crowds are even more energised at nearby Winter Wonderland - the island's family-friendly theme park is a riot of thrilling rides and rollercoasters. Later, Doha's dramatic sunsets look spectacular from the deck of Qatar's traditional dhow boats - you can board regular departures at the Corniche promenade. As night falls, ascend to the rooftop restaurants and bars of West Bay's skyscrapers - expect to enjoy romantic moments and every conceivable cuisine as the amber glow of the city stretches out before you.
If you've got more time for your Qatar trip: start your second day at Katara Cultural Village whose amber walkways reveal independent galleries, the gleaming Gold Mosque and waterfront Katara Amphitheatre, where crowds gather for joyous pop concerts and moving opera recitals. Nearby, The Pearl island's pastel-coloured designer boutiques and restaurants line picturesque canals. Serious shoppers will feel pampered at Qatar's spectacular malls, like Place Vendôme Qatar , The Gate Mall, Lagoona Mall; some feature theme parks, theater shows and dancing fountains. For your third day, drive your rental car north to Al Khor to kayak peacefully through lush mangrove forests, or discover the Inland Sea where towering dunes plummet dramatically into diamond waters. On your fourth day, feel the warmth of Qatar's endless sunny weather at serene Sealine Beach or West Bay's lively city-center beach clubs.
