On my recent visit to Doha, the capital city of Qatar, I discovered one of the Middle East’s most up-and-coming destinations. Home to some of the region’s most glamorous luxury hotels as well as a cultural identity that prides itself on authentic Qatari heritage, Doha presents a charming contrast between new and old, making it a perfect destination for travellers seeking culture and history. During a whirlwind three days en route to Sri Lanka, I explored as much of this modern city as I could and came away awed by the sheer amount Doha has to offer the modern traveller. Easy to navigate and brimming with attractions, Doha is an ideal place as a main destination, as a stopover or as part of a multi-centre holiday.

White sand beaches, incredible museums, and a diversity of global cuisines await in the UAE’s action-packed capital. Here’s our guide to where to stay, what to eat, and what to know before you visit.
