Doha

💡 About Doha

Doha, the futuristic capital of Qatar, has risen from a modest pearling and fishing town into one of the wealthiest and most ambitious cities in the Gulf — a glittering skyline of daring skyscrapers curving around a crescent bay on the Persian Gulf.

Fuelled by vast natural gas reserves, Doha has invested heavily in culture and sport, from the stunning I. M. Pei-designed Museum of Islamic Art to hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the first ever held in the Arab world.

Alongside its gleaming towers, Doha preserves its heritage in the restored Souq Waqif, a warren of alleys selling spices, textiles and falcons. The city is a striking blend of Bedouin tradition and 21st-century spectacle rising from the desert edge.
