You’ll have access to our full range of award-winning services as you journey to South East Asia’s glittering city-state, and dine on the very best cuisine, arriving at your destination relaxed and refreshed.
Situated on its own island close to the Malay Peninsula, the city state of Singapore is often considered one of the region’s most accessible destinations. It’s a densely packed nation of more than five million people, made up of Chinese, Malay, Eurasian, and Indian residents. Singapore also has a healthy dose of expatriates from around the world.
Although it is distinctly Asian, Singapore’s origins as a British colony are still plain to see. English is an official language alongside Malay, Chinese and Tamil, but this extraordinary locale is much more than a colonial outpost.
Book a flight to Singapore with Qatar Airways and discover a rich, varied and exotic destination that’s full of surprises.
