Doha
A spectacular skyline welcomes you to Doha, Qatar’s thriving coastal capital on the Arabian Peninsula, blending old-meets-new charm through its many landmarks, art, and striking architecture. The Pearl Qatar, situated on the Arabian Riviera near the prestigious West Bay District, is a man-made island featuring Mediterranean-style yacht-lined marinas, top-tier restaurants, and a luxurious shopping experience.
Built on the site of Doha’s century-old trading market along the banks of Wadi Musheireb, Souq Waqif’s mud-daubed buildings stand in vivid contrast to the city’s dramatic modern skyline. The market evokes a bygone era while remaining a vibrant hub of daily activity, with winding alleys that offer a rich tableau of traditional street life.
The most recognisable landmark in Qatar is the Katara Towers, also known as the Crescent Tower or Katara Twin Towers. Designed with two scimitar-shaped structures crossing at the base to form a breathtaking crescent, the towers house two luxury hotels—Raffles Doha and Fairmont Doha—along with cinemas and a host of entertainment and recreational facilities.
