Doha
Qatar
"Futuristic Skyline, Desert Dunes & Arabian Heritage"
Doha has grown into one of the Gulf's most polished cities. The seven-kilometer Corniche curves along the bay with views of the West Bay skyline, and I.M. Pei's Museum of Islamic Art and the rose-shaped National Museum of Qatar are architectural standouts. Souq Waqif's lanes of spices, textiles, and falcon shops keep old Doha alive, while The Pearl and Msheireb offer modern dining. Desert safaris head to the dunes and the Inland Sea, and Doha is an easy stopover on Qatar Airways routes.
