Flights to Qatar

Surrounded by the waters of the Persian Gulf, Qatar is an Arab emirate located on the Qatar Peninsula, on the northern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. This state has been ruled by the Al Thani family since the mid-19th century as an absolute and hereditary emirate. Under British protection from the early 20th century, Qatar declared its independence in 1971. Since then, it has become one of the wealthiest nations in the region, thanks to its vast oil and natural gas reserves.

Despite its small size, Qatar offers a wide array of attractions for tourists. The capital city, Doha, is a rapidly growing hub with beautiful beaches and vibrant markets. Around the city, visitors can enjoy activities such as fishing, dune bashing, scuba diving, sailing, and more. Another notable attraction is Zubarah, featuring the ruins of a deserted town and a fortress built in 1938. Other fascinating locations include Khor Al Udeid, a natural wonder with sand dunes that dramatically change shape overnight. Since there are no paved roads to Khor Al Udeid, the journey must be made with 4x4 vehicles through the desert. Additional highlights include the fishing port of Al-Khor, the Al-Khor Museum showcasing rare archaeological findings and records of Arab culture's evolution, and iconic sites like the Cultural Village, the traditional Souq Waqif, and more.

As a culturally rich Arab nation, Qatar hosts several annual festivals designed to attract visitors from all over the world. Some of the most renowned events include the Annual Doha Cultural Festival, the Aljazeera International Documentary Film Festival, and the Tribeca Film Festival. Travel to Qatar is made easy with services from airlines like KLM, Qatar Airways, Wizzair and Emirates.
