    Doha Desert
    For all those who love a bit of adventure, make sure to experience the sand dune safari outside Doha. The thrill of ‘dune bashing’ is unbelievable and it’s one of the best ways to experience the desert’s vastness. We also recommend that you take a relaxing dip in the pale turquoise waters of the Inland Sea at the settlement of Khor Al Udaid too. Image Credit: Shuttershock

    Souq Waqif
    When in Qatar, make sure to enjoy the old-world charm offered in those traditional markets. The "Souq Waqif" will remind you of an era that has gone by and fill you with nostalgia. A must-visit, the shops selling fabric, spices, sweets, and souvenirs will bring the tourist in you alive. Image Credit: Shutterstock

    The Mangroves of Al Thakira
    Just as those found in the UAE, Qatar also boasts mangroves. The Mangroves of Al Thakira features a rich bird life, including herons and flamingos which migrate to the region seasonally. Rent a kayak to get the most immersive experience at this green oasis. Image Credit: Shutterstock

    Museum of Islamic Art
    A key cultural spot in Qatar is the Museum of Islamic Art, which features art from three continents and spanning around 1,400 years. The museum is located on an island off the Corniche and artefacts are spread over where visitors can look at jewels, swords, armour and more. Image Credit: Shuttershock
