Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Katara Cultural Village amphitheater and galleries in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Our trip to Doha was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Katara Cultural Village amphitheater and galleries was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

National Museum of Qatar alone was worth the trip, but combined with Katara Beach this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Everything was handled for us — flights, hotel, transfers, and tours to Desert safari and dune bashing, Sealine and Corniche promenade. Great communication from the consultant before departure too.
