 22 Reviews  The National Museum, housed in the attractive buildings of an old palace, reopened in April 2006 after being closed for renovations for some time. Presenty it includes exhibits on archeology, natural history, traditional costumes, jewelry, folk medicine, and other aspects of Qatari culture such as... 

 12 Reviews  The Corniche is the man-made shoreline in the city and is a destination for tourists, runners, walkers and the like. It has nice vews and great sunsets. It consists of a wide walkway with water on one side, and grass on the other. Beyond the grass is a VERY busy street that is not easy to cross. 

 9 Reviews  A large imposing mosque can be found in central Doha, on Jasim bin Mohammed St. This mosque really strikes you because it's really large (I think it's the largest in the city), with a very "thin" minaret - although apparently not exactly beautiful. Even its green-creams colours are a bit odd. Its... 

 5 Reviews  Desert safari in Qatar is an awsome experience. I have never seen such big desert dunes! Trips are organized by local agencies... You'd better book a trip rather than going on your own: you could easily get lost and the desert seems soooo big!! Highly recommended. 

 11 Reviews  If you happen to be in Doha during the annual Doha Cultural Festival, be sure to check it out. It lasts for a week or two, during which there are performances, lectures, and other events happening throughout the city. Finding out details about these can be a challenge, but you can start with the... 

 3 Reviews  The entry fee for this well maintained zoo is around 5 QAR per adult. You can see lots of animals from elephants to snakes in clean surroundings. The highlight for me was the chance to feed the indian elephant. Best to check entry times by phone and also whether it is "family day" or "Women and... 

 4 Reviews  Information of this place couldn't be easily found in google search. Probably because of this, there were not many tourists. Leaving was also a problem. No taxi came around. I had to walk 10-15 mins to the nearest hotel, InterContinential, to catch a taxi. The place had a private beach, charging... 

 6 Reviews  It's a stretch of walks by the seaside. There are people sitting down and enjoy the breeze. Some will jog during the evening. The night scene is spectacular when it is full moon. There are also some fishing boats anchored. 

 4 Reviews  The Khalifa International Stadium is a multi-use stadium in Doha, Qatar - the one where the 2006 Asian Games, in case you watched them. It was built over a 1976 football stadium (in particular the roof, that was not present in the original cosntruction) and enlarged as to host 50'000 spectators. its... 

 4 Reviews  Here is a completely non-cultural activity that's certainly a fun diversion. It's simply a ice ramp, that you can pay to slide down. For only 15QR, you officially get two rides down. It wasn't busy when we were there, so as long as we brought our tubes back up, the guys let us continue. He even... 

 3 Reviews  You don't have to look far to see camels in Qatar. There are signs that show where camel crossings are. Since camel races are a big event in that country it is not too uncommon to see camel farms with cames roaming close to the road. Be careful not to hit them. Rumor has it that if one is hit in the... 

 2 Reviews  Gold Souq is the place where you can buy all the jewerly such as Gold, White Gold, Silver, Diamonds, Pearl, etc. at a bargained price. Of course you'll have to bargain your way there. They have a very unique design for Gold braclets.
