Doha was once a stopover where passengers moved from one plane to another and never set foot in the city. Qatar Airways has been trying to change that with a generous stopover program where passengers can rest here and enjoy the sights on their way to another corner of the world. The Qatari government has also helped, allowing visa-free entry for citizens of 80 countries in 2017.

I first came for overnight stays in 2017, lured by super cheap international hotels and went home impressed by the friendly locals although there was far less to see than neighbouring Dubai. However, on my subsequent visit in 2025, the city has transformed with many new attractions and museums, making it a worthwhile tourist destination to spend a few days on its own.

My most recent 3-day visit was quite packed but it was not yet too incredibly hot in March so it was still possible to walk a lot outside.

Watch for more updates in the coming months, as well as a travel guide to the city!
