This flexible guided tour is designed to help you experience the best of Doha in a single day — whether you are on a tight stopover or have a full day to explore. With hotel pickup, A/C transport, and a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll visit the city’s essential landmarks and lesser-known gems across old and modern Doha.

Shorter tour options focus on panoramic drives and brief cultural stops, while longer versions allow for deeper exploration, guided museum visits, and optional shopping and dining stops. Perfect for first-time visitors, cruise passengers, or anyone seeking a personalized encounter with Qatar’s capital.

The route will be tailored based on your pickup and drop-off locations to make the most of your time. You can also customize your itinerary by selecting preferred stops and pacing — or simply leave it to your experienced local guide to show you their best version of Doha.

Traditional dhow and electric boat cruises are also available as optional add-ons.
