Many travellers know Qatar only as a transit stop. Yet those who stay a day or two longer discover a country that, beyond its impressive capital, offers nature experiences and cultural treasures unrivalled in the Arab world. As your luxury travel specialist from Switzerland, we show you the most exclusive luxury activities in Qatar and the Qatar that lies beyond the high-rise towers.
The artificial island of The Pearl-Qatar is Doha's most glamorous district, with a yacht marina, international luxury boutiques, excellent restaurants and a promenade reminiscent of the Côte d'Azur. Dinner at Porto Arabia Marina, followed by a stroll along the illuminated promenade, is one of the most elegant luxury activities in Qatar. The departure point for private yacht cruises along the Doha coastline is also on The Pearl.
In the north-west of Qatar, around 105 km from Doha, lies Al Zubarah, once an important pearl-fishing town and today Qatar's only UNESCO World Heritage Site. The well-preserved fort and the archaeological excavations of the historic town offer a captivating insight into life on the Arabian Peninsula before the oil era. A day trip there, combined with lunch at a traditional restaurant in one of the nearby fishing villages, is one of the most culturally rewarding luxury activities in Qatar and a fascinating contrast to modern Doha.
Katara Cultural Village in Doha is a vibrant cultural centre with an amphitheatre, art galleries, a mosque and an excellent choice of restaurants. Evening events such as concerts, film screenings and art performances take place all year round and are among the most enriching cultural luxury activities in Qatar. Pink Travel will gladly keep you informed about current events during your stay.
Combine a stay in Qatar with an onward flight to Oman or the Maldives. Qatar Airways offers excellent connections in both directions, and a Qatar stopover of two or three nights is a cost-effective way to add another luxury destination to your long-haul trip.
