Our trip to Doha was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Museum of Islamic Art and National Museum of Qatar was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Booked this as a couple trip and it was well paced. Corniche promenade in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Souq Waqif alone was worth the trip, but combined with Souq Waqif this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
