Best Tours & activities in Doha (2026)

A guided tour is the easiest way to see the parts of Qatar that are hard to reach on your own, especially the desert. Discover Qatar, the destination management company of Qatar Airways, runs city tours, dhow cruises and desert safaris, and even short transit tours for travellers with a layover at Hamad International Airport. Local specialists such as Gulf Desert Rose, Golden Adventures Qatar, Desert Safari Doha and Qatar Inbound Tours focus on the desert, with half-day trips to the Inland Sea, overnight camps, quad biking and stargazing, and several also run city tours, dhow cruises and fishing trips.

For desert trips, choose a licensed operator with experienced drivers and well-maintained four-wheel drives, and ask what is included, such as hotel pick-up, sandboarding, camel rides and dinner. Dhow cruises around Doha Bay are best at sunset, when the skyline lights up. Book a day or two ahead in the cooler months, which are the busiest season, and check cancellation policies, as tours can be postponed in high winds or extreme heat.
