This Gulf State became independent in 1971 and has become very wealthy due to its oil and gas deposits. Qatar did not start issuing tourist visas until 1989 and is a relatively quiet place. Visitors can explore the rolling sand dunes around the Khor Al-Adaid (Inland Sea), which borders Saudi Arabia. Riding the dunes in an ATV is often considered one of the highlights of a trip to Qatar. For historical interests, you can visit the Qatar National Museum in Doha. As well, there is the Al-Zubara museum, which is a fort that has been converted into a museum and contains pottery and archaeology exhibits. You can watch a camel race at Al Shahaniyah, where robot jockeys are now used. Child jockeys were used previously.  Due to safety and child labour concerns, they were banned in 2005.

Hi everyone, Has anyone been to Qatar? What's it like, did you enjoy being there, just how strict is it as far as dress rules go (I've heard it's fairly conservative), how are the beaches (swimming? shells? clean?), how's the food, etc. Be glad for any info. I can get and thanks for whatever you can give.

Travel Tips from people who've been to Qatar
Fantastic for the it's outstanding water front...The Corniche.
Go sailing with Captain Mike out of the marina at the Sheraton.

Excellent Indian food in most every restaurant.  The Chinese food is rancid.  For the sports enthusiast, you'll find venues for nearly every sport imaginable professional and amateur facilities are state-of-the-art and bountiful.

The men are gorgeous and plentiful.  Women are gorgeous too....but if you're a man, you'll rarely experience the pleasure of getting to know these Muslim beauties.

Pearl and Paloma are the two popular clubs in town.  But Cloud 9 and Garfield's are much funkier fare for the expats that live in Doha.

Driving in Doha can be daunting as the roads are still rather new (or still under construction).  this means that signage is minimal and experienced local drivers do not obey any implied traffic safety rules.

For women  travelers  covering up your shoulders and knees is a must, as much as it is  recommend  by the local government .. there are a lot of single men here or men without their wives and they have a tendency to stare if you dont cover up which is a little off-putting! At the hotel pools and private beaches its fine to wear a bikini though to get a good tan!
