Qatar is more than a stopover—it's a destination of discovery. Wander the bustling alleys of Souq Waqif, marvel at the architecture of the Museum of Islamic Art, or sail the Corniche at sunset on a traditional dhow. Step into the desert for a night under the stars or attend one of the country’s many cultural festivals, from film to falconry.
Why visit Qatar?
Qatar stuns with a skyline that glitters over Doha Corniche, landmark architecture like the Museum of Islamic Art, and the mesmerizing Inland Sea desert dunes. Visitors can shop at the atmospheric Souq Waqif, dine at The Pearl-Qatar, and explore immersive exhibits at Msheireb Museums that reveal the country’s complex evolution. Beneath the modern luxury, Qatar holds cultural significance as a historic port in the Indian Ocean slave trade. Afro-Arab communities still living in the region reflect this lesser-known past.
For diaspora travelers, Qatar offers a unique window into the African presence in the Arabian Gulf, with opportunities for dialogue around identity, heritage, and cultural expression in a rapidly evolving society.

Doha – Where Heritage Meets High Design
Doha is a city of rising silhouettes and rooted stories. Stroll the Corniche waterfront promenade, explore Msheireb Downtown’s smart urban revival, or dive into the Museum of Islamic Art—a masterwork by I.M. Pei floating on the bay. Visit Katara Cultural Village for performances and artisan shops, or shop for spices and textiles at Souq Waqif, where Qatari culture comes vibrantly to life.
Khor Al Adaid – The Inland Sea
A UNESCO-recognized natural wonder, Khor Al Adaid is one of the few places on earth where the sea encroaches deep into the heart of the desert.
