There is nothing named cheap here :D..hehe

Flights are expensive so you are left with some limited places to like o beach, malls, crowded almost conservative night clubs (lol) and coffee shops...

Enjoy your days

loadsa places to go like dubai, bahrain, oman, india, nepal, srilanka, egypt, lebanon, iran, jordan...... + the east. every destination is different unlike the europe. you may find flights like airarabia, jazeera, airindiaexpress and bahrain air for cheapest fair.

QR offers outstanding service aboard so it 'll cost u more. many airlines in the region offer holiday packages too.

planning a holiday won't be a big deal here.

Roaming around Doha as follow (% of time to spend):

50% on traffic jam

20% waiting on red signals

20% trying to follow road speed limit and trying to avoid fixed radars.

10% enjoying the PICNIC day

Just got back from the Maldives last month. Check with the travel agents because they run specials sometimes. Other than that...no on the cheap flights like they have in the UK and the US. Monopolies take that away from the consumers.
