Keep busy

If you’ve got work to catch up on, use the fast, complimentary Wi-Fi throughout HIA. Head to one of the lounges to focus in a quiet place where snacks and drinks are served.

Need a break? Stream a film, video call your friends, or snap a selfie with the iconic 23-foot Lamp Bear before departure. Whether you’re handling emails or staying in touch with loved ones, it’s easy to stay connected during your layover at HIA.

Take an art tour

You don’t need to leave Doha airport to enjoy extraordinary art, as HIA is home to striking installations curated by Discover Qatar and Qatar Museums. Join a complimentary, one-hour guided art tour and admire cutting-edge pieces throughout the terminal.

You’ll have the chance to explore the creative spirit of Qatar during your Doha layover and see areas of the airport you might otherwise miss. It’s the perfect way to make your journey more meaningful and inspiring without leaving HIA.

Shop and dine

Doha’s HIA will leave foodies and shoppers spoilt for choice. Sample dishes found around the world, from Asian favourites to Middle Eastern specialities, or sip Qatari coffee with sweet treats in the souq. Then browse luxury boutiques or pick up last-minute gifts and travel essentials at Qatar Duty Free.

As you shop and dine, you can collect and spend Avios or earn Qpoints – turning your Qatar Airways layover into a rewarding part of the journey.

Don’t miss The Orchard, a lush indoor garden creating an oasis of calm at the heart of the airport.
