A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
I’m a year into my second stretch of calling Doha home. So I’ve learned a thing or two about living in the desert state of Qatar.
If you’re flying through Doha on your way to another destination, consider turning one vacation into two by spending a day in this bustling city full of culture, art, traditions, and Arabian hospitality.

There can be few places on earth changing faster than Doha right now – in true Gulf style, the cityscape of Qatar’s capital is rising as steadily as a plume of shisha smoke. A short jaunt around town will pass all-new luxury hotels, art complexes, and lofty skyscrapers designed by the world’s finest architects, not to mention the odd Venetian town complete with canals.
The capital of the small state of Qatar, a gas and oil-rich country in the Middle East, Doha is a cosmopolitan metropolis stretching inland from a nearly circular bay lined by a promenade walkway offering the perfect sunset location.
