The experience

A half-day guided sweep of Doha’s landmarks, from the I. M. Pei-designed Museum of Islamic Art to Souq Waqif’s falcon shops.

The guide leads visits to the Museum of Islamic Art, designed by architect I. M. Pei, and a stop at Souq Waqif for its spice stalls and falcon shops, before a panoramic drive along the Corniche and a stop at The Pearl-Qatar’s Porto Arabia boardwalk.

The tour closes at Katara Cultural Village, with its galleries, theatre, mosques and beach area, taking in West Bay’s skyline along the way — a useful first orientation for a short layover or the start of a longer stay.
