Doha is a city on the rise, its profile changing seemingly by the day as new ultra-modern developments pierce the skyline. However, this is no concrete jungle, and a particularly attractive feature of Doha is the sheer number of open green spaces lining the bay-side Corniche promenade, and the presence of the spectacular Museum of Islamic Art, occupying its own man-made island. Souq Waqif reveals an older and more traditional aspect of the city, from when it was a small port, with all kinds of local crafts, clothing and spices on sale.

Taxis are plentiful, including a dedicated Airport Taxi service.

Arriving at the airport
Passengers flying from Helsinki with Qatar Airways depart from Terminal 2, which is the main intercontinental and international terminal.
There are 44 gates and an extensive check-in area that is well organised. However, the terminal is very big (and has recently been expanded), so it is wise to give yourself plenty of time before your flight is due to board to check-in and clear customs and security checks.
Bear in mind that, as with all international airports, security is very tight.

The facilities at Helsinki Airport are exceptional, and include a spa and wellness centre, several play areas for children and extensive business facilities including meeting and conference rooms. There is free wireless internet throughout the airport, as well as sleeping pods, chargers and transfer service desks.

Tourist attractions

It holds exhibits that chart the country’s historic background as well as its continuing plans for the future.
The Mathaf Arab Museum of Modern Art has recently opened and is home to a collection of modern art from across the Arab world.
The Al Koot Fort was built in 1880, and is a popular photographic stop for tourists visiting Souq Waqif – a charming traditional market and the social heart of the city. The Clock Tower is next to the Grand Mosque, and because of its hilltop position it offers panoramic views of Doha and the Corniche.
Doha Heritage Village is located along the Corniche in Al Rumeilia Park, and is based on a traditional Qatari village.
