Favourite Place in Doha/Qatar?
Hi, I'm new to Qatar and while I've seen what the guide books recommend, I was wondering what people who have actually lived here for a while like? I'm from London and I know that there, the best things are NEVER in the guide books! I look forward to reading your suggestions!
By yourself an Indian Hero from Souk Najada and ride.

visit "souq waqif" my favourite
i never appreciate such a nice place...sorry.
been here for 15 days and i've seen many beautiful places in doha... so far, corniche and villagio are my faves... i've been to wakra beach last night but got disappointed as the water can be reached by walking for more than 500 meters from the shoreline... must be the low tide that made the beach water into drought... LOL!
CITY CENTRE On thursday evening.............
Musherib on a Friday night.
I forget the sword dance, it's very nice too.

---hayz!!

1) corniche
2) dukhan beach
3) al khor beach
4) ummsaid beach
5) fuwairath beach
6) al khor garden
7) ummsaid park
8) bida park
9) souq waqif
10) qatar national museum
11) duheil park
12) wakra beach
13) wakra garden
14) ummsaid sand dunes
15) ummsaid sea line resort

/me is NEGATRON how about you?
Ric's Kountry Kitchen for a greasy breakfast. The best!
Fuwairat, Al Khor, Shamal, Umbab..
agree with mintus - the best sight in Doha is seeing Family Food Centre moving AWAY from you as you fly higher!
:) on a serious note - there are many beautiful places in doha, it just takes a special type of perspective to see them.
The corniche at sun rise is amazing (make sure you have a cuppa and a cig)
Nonetheless - Welcome to Qatar!!!
Airport on the way out.
SALWA,
Industrial Area, Street No. 10.
Funtastic PLACE......:)
Second what Happy says about dune bashing with a Qatari, unbelievable.
Also camping (during cooler months) out at Zikrit or other relatively deserted places...

Siriol,
what all places you have seen from the guide book recommendation, may be i ll tell some other places after that, coz i have neva seen any guide books...
Al-Fardan and Souq especially fridays. lol
it's like there's a concert every fridays! talking about the crowd. pffftt.
malls... :D
The Qatar Natural History Group organizes outings into the countryside (when it is cool enough), usually one per month. There are some really neat places that members know of and are willing to take people to. As we go as a group, it's a safe alternative to striking out on your own and getting lost or stuck in the sand.
I think places maybe not announced in a guidebook would be:
1-To be hosted by a Qatari friend to their own home.
2-To go dune bashing with a Qatari driver, no other nationality can be as adventurous.
3- A Qatari wedding.
4- A farm (I've never been to one).
