Situated on the banks of the Arabian Gulf this capital city boasts one of the biggest ports in Qatar and houses the headquarters of largest gas and oil companies in the country. A rented serviced apartment or holiday letting in Doha allows you to take in all that this wonderful city has to offer at your own pace and guarantees a truly memorable vacation that will leave you wanting more.

Once a pearl fishing village this city still takes pride in it’s rich heritage and culture and this can be experienced in some of the many museums in the city. The Qatar National Museum, housed in a restored palace, gives you access to exhibits of this region’s local fauna and flora, wonderful collections of crystal formations and exquisite geodes, several reconstructed rooms of the palace with lavish décor and an interesting exhibit on Bedouin tribes people. Next door to this museum is the Aquarium, divided from the museum by a man made lagoon, which is home to numerous turtles and sea life. The aquarium houses many species of fish that inhabit the waters of the Gulf, including some rather unpleasant looking sharks, as well as exhibits on this region’s pearl industry that are well worth a look. Both these buildings are situated on the wonderful corniche which is the perfect place for a leisurely stroll and superb views of the surrounding areas. The corniche stretches for several kilometres out into the sea and is also home to the Presidential Palace as well as many other spectacular buildings.

A self-catered apartment or aparthotel in Doha also gives you access to the Museum of Islamic Art, a beautiful building that houses some exquisite, traditional works of art as well as the Doha Fort Museum. Based in a Moorish fort this museum exhibits local crafts, unusual carvings, artefacts and some lovely paintings and is definitely worth a browse.

For those who fancy something a little more adrenalin fuelled there are plenty of outdoor recreational facilities where you can partake in a spot of paragliding, jet skiing and water skiing or perhaps you would prefer a relaxing dhow cruise and take in this wonderful city from the water.

The Souq Waqif is well worth a visit and the perfect place to pick up those all important souvenirs and little mementos of your holiday, just remember to haggle.

For the ideal place to eat that is within easy reach of your apartment rental or serviced residence in Doha there’s Shebestan. Here you can enjoy traditional Persian cuisine, excellent service and delightful décor. The tabouleh and kebabs are just delicious.
