This is a fascinating country to visit with a wealth of things to do and see. There are several attractions and activities for visitors of all ages, from desert safaris to shopping in the city centers. The diving and snorkeling in the Persian Gulf is top-notch, as are the beaches and resorts.
Qatar’s capital city of Doha is just as fun to visit, from its museums and futuristic buildings to luxury shopping malls and restaurants. It is also home to the Museum of Islamic Art, a stunning limestone building well worth seeing. There are also a number of other cultural highlights in Qatar, too, including mosques, art galleries and archaeological sites.
