The five best things to do
on a layover in Doha

Turn your layover in Doha into an exciting adventure

With world-class shopping, fine dining and striking art at Hamad International Airport (HIA), there’s plenty to enjoy during your layover in Doha. If you’d like to step outside before your next flight, book a transit tour with Discover Qatar. You’ll immerse yourself the cultural heart of the country, boasting museums, souqs and the scenic Corniche. Everything will be arranged so you can return in time for your connecting flight, giving you the chance to go sightseeing in Doha at your own pace.

1. Experience the airport

For a six-hour layover in Doha, HIA is a destination in its own right. Unwind at The Orchard, a tropical garden filled with greenery, water features and rare plants, creating a calm escape.

Indulge in luxury shopping and dining, test your swing on the golf simulator, or book a spa treatment for complete relaxation. With so much on offer, your time in transit will fly by.

2. Explore the city

With a 12-hour layover, you can roam around Doha at your own leisure and still be back in time for your next flight. You’ll have around 10 hours to visit iconic attractions, from the striking Museum of Islamic Art to Katara Cultural Village, where the country’s heritage comes to life through art and performance.

Book a Discover Qatar transit tour for a guide through the city that showcases its main highlights, before heading back to the airport.

3. Go shopping

HIA is a shopping lover’s dream, with luxury fashion, confectionary and electronics all under one roof. Browse the stores at Qatar Duty Free to pick up gifts or essentials before your onward journey. If you plan to venture into the city, Souq Waqif is a must.

This historic marketplace celebrates Qatari tradition, and is filled with local sights and scents that’ll awaken your senses. Here, you’ll find gold jewellery, textiles and handicrafts that make perfect keepsakes of your layover.

4. Savour cuisine

Qatar is fast becoming a hub for foodies, offering a myriad of choices. At HIA, you can enjoy afternoon tea, light bites, or à la carte dining in a range of restaurants.

If you wander through Doha during your layover, sample international cuisine at Mall of Qatar or tuck into a meal on the coastline at Doha Beach Club. For an authentic taste of Qatar, make your way to the souqs, where sizzling street food is packed with bold flavours.

5. Admire art

During your layover in Doha, you’ll be surrounded by works of art at HIA. The famous Lamp Bear at the centre of the terminal is a must-see, and a popular spot for taking pictures.

As you stroll through the airport, you’ll discover more contemporary pieces representing creativity and innovation. For a peaceful retreat, step into The Orchard, a lush indoor garden where exotic flowers and fountains will revive you. The space also features unique wildlife sculptures to marvel at during a rejuvenating walk.
