Qatar
Doha's skyline along the Corniche, the Museum of Islamic Art and the lanes of Souq Waqif. Add a desert safari to the dunes of the Inland Sea. Best from November to April.
Why go
Qatar is a compact, modern country where you can see a lot in a few days: world-class museums, a lively old market and the desert meeting the sea. It works well as a short city break or as a stopover combined with a beach hotel.
Best time to go
The best time is from November to April, when days are warm and evenings pleasant. From June to September it is very hot, above 40 °C, and life moves indoors.
