At last, presenting my comprehensive list of activities in Qatar (11 pages to be precise, find links to more areas below - but first check out the list on this page!) , mainly focused on Doha but with a few additions from around the country. Please be aware that the highlighted areas serve as markers, indicating that the subsequent list items are located in or near those specific areas.

Kindly verify in advance whether the mentioned places are currently open (as some may close during the summer). For those with young children, it's advisable to confirm their age and height requirements before planning a visit.

I've made an effort to cover the key areas that I personally recommend. However, if you believe I've overlooked something, feel free to reach out to me. Your input is appreciated!

• Navigating Qatar: Qatar offers a diverse array of transportation options, ranging from the metro and taxis to helicopters. Check out this informative article by Visit Qatar: Getting Around in Qatar. However, it's worth noting that the article doesn't cover Uber and the local taxi service, Karwa.
