When I saw the comments of other members I felt that they really don’t get the right idea across. There is more in Qatar than a hot weather, and Doha isn’t copying off Dubai’s success instead Doha has its own identity. Unlike any other cities in the Middle East, Doha is one of the most diverse in terms of its population, traditions, heritage, and social life. Doha has one of the cleanest soft sand beaches, with beautiful sand dunes that people come to from various countries for Safari adventures using Land Cruiser SUVs and also for sand skiing. Water sports is another attraction. Doha offers almost all kinds of water sports starting from swimming to scuba diving, water skiing and jet skiing. There are a lot of hikes, horse back riding, and trips to the camel racing tracks. Not mentioning the state of the art sports city which hosts all kinds of different sports.
When it comes to the weather, just like anywhere else on the planet, there is always a good weather season. Here in the North East of the US we only have the summer, in Qatar all seasons have a good weather except for the summer, even though people in Qatar do different things on summers, mainly because of the weather there is Air Conditioning in every single structure/building/house. People tend to hang out in malls in the summer and to hang out outside at night when it’s cooler.
Starting from the 7th largest mall in the world and many other malls that can give you a very good experience buying famous brands for cheaper prices as the Gov imposes no taxes on sales/income. There are also beach resorts, old Souqs, 5 star hotels and much more. When it comes to transportation there is actually a good system of transportation which relies mainly on cabs and public buses. However cabs are a lot more convenient than buses and are very cheap when compared to the American standards not mentioning that all vehicles that are used as cabs are new/clean and the cab drivers always stick to their uniforms and are very professional in their work, plus, they all speak English in addition to Arabic.
