Many people travel from Srinagar to Doha for work opportunities in Qatar's petroleum and construction industries. Doha offers a modern city experience with cultural attractions rooted in Qatari traditions. Expect a stark contrast between the serene valleys of Kashmir and the desert landscape of Qatar.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Doha is during the winter months, from November to March, when the weather is pleasant and ideal for outdoor activities. Avoid the summer months from May to September due to the intense heat and humidity. The holy month of Ramadan also affects opening hours and the general atmosphere.

Getting from the airport to Doha

Hamad International Airport (DOH) is well-connected to Doha. You can take the Doha Metro (Red Line) to the city centre for around 3 QAR. Taxis and ride-hailing services like Uber and Careem are readily available, costing approximately 50-70 QAR.

Things to do in Doha

Visit the Museum of Islamic Art to see a vast collection of Islamic art from around the world. Explore Souq Waqif, a traditional market with spices, textiles, and handicrafts. Take a desert safari to experience the dunes and Bedouin culture. Stroll along the Corniche, a waterfront promenade with views of the city skyline.

Food to try

Try Machboos, a spiced rice dish with meat or seafood, considered Qatar's national dish. Sample Luqaimat, sweet dumplings drizzled with date syrup, a popular dessert. Explore the diverse culinary scene at Souq Waqif, with options ranging from Qatari cuisine to international flavours.
