Getting to the airport involves travelling on water since it's located on its own island, without land connections to Malé city. Speedboats are the most common mode of transport, alongside local water taxis known as dhonis, which bring you directly to the terminal. You can also take a transfer by seaplane.

Once inside the terminal, you'll find several facilities to explore before your flight. You can relax in the lounge area or browse retail outlets for any last-minute purchases. Shop local goods, luxury accessories, perfume and jewellery. Stay connected using the complimentary internet kiosks situated in the duty-free area, near gates 1, 2 and 3. You can easily find the prayer room inside the terminal, or access one of the two mosques just five minutes’ walk from the airport.

Experience Doha, a dynamic city blending authentic culture with contemporary flair on the shores of the Arabian Gulf. Qatar’s fast-growing capital dazzles with its striking skyline, world-class museums and vibrant culture. Thanks to that, you'll create precious memories during every moment, at every turn.

Stroll along the scenic Corniche for panoramic views of the bay, or wander through the bustling Souq Waqif, where you’ll find lively markets, local cuisine and traditional crafts. Discover the city’s rich heritage at museums that showcase both Qatar’s history and its creative future. Visit the Msheireb Enrichment Centre, a barge docked at the Corniche, and the Mathaf Arab Museum of Modern Art, displaying unique pieces from across the Middle East.

Iconic landmarks such as Al Koot Fort and Al Fanar Tower give you a glimpse of Doha’s fascinating past, while luxury hotels and upmarket shopping destinations provide every modern comfort. After roaming around the city, admire impressive public art installations or relax at beautifully landscaped parks, perfect for lazing under the warm sun or enjoying outdoor events. Explore Doha’s diverse culinary scene, offering everything from quintessential Arabian dishes to international gourmet cuisine. With each bite, you'll feel the city’s cosmopolitan spirit and the warmth of Qatari hospitality.
