What vehicle type is right for my trip?
With its lavish budget, Qatar is constantly updating its roads, which are laid out in a thoroughly modern network of both two and three lane highways. Traffic congestion should be expected at peak hours along with disruptions due to road construction. Luckily, road signs are printed in English and Arabic which makes it easier to navigate around the country.

Top 4 Architectural Sights
Envisioned as a beacon for promoting multiculturalism and global harmony the Katara Cultural Village near Doha is Qatar's largest, most multidimensional project. It offers a blend of 21st century galleries, theaters, concert halls and cutting edge facilities. Before shopping malls, the souq was the economic and social hub for Arabs, and the Souq Watif in Doha is its 21st century equivalent. This open air marketplace, fragrant with spices, perfumes and exotic incense, hums with activity as well as great food and fun. Venture off the main street to browse the many mud rendered shops that snake through a labyrinth of narrow alleyways. Doha's Museum of Islamic Art is a modern masterwork in the use of light and space and is home the largest collection of Islamic art in the world. High atop the West Bay of Doha, the sandstone facade of the State Grand Mosque is an imposing structure mixing traditional Arabic and modern architecture, exemplified by its huge outdoor spaces, crisp lines, minaret and sparkling half-moon designs.
Top 4 Natural Sights
Khor Al Udaid Beach is a true desert marvel. As the sea advances on the desert by day it forms an inland sea that constantly changes the shape and size of the surrounding dunes. As the day wanes, the sea begins to recede, revealing a sparkling array of colors at sunset and at night dunes as large as 130 feet high stand starkly amidst the starlit desert landscape. At the Brouq Nature Reserve visitors can enjoy Qatar's wildlife including the Arabian Oryx, gazelles, ostriches and the peninsula's flora and fauna. Dukhan Beach is among the most exotic beaches in the world with excellent surfing along gorgeous white sand, gently rolling hills and interesting limestone formations. For the true Qatar experience, nothing inspires more awe and wonder than a safari over the rolling dunes and flawlessly smooth sand that seemingly stretch forever in the vast Doha Desert.
Avoid the heat of the desert sun by visiting Qatar in the winter when temperatures are more pleasant. January is the coolest month, when temps can be between the upper 50s and 70s. Winter is a great time to go into the desert to drive on the dunes or go camping. Or head to one of the green spots in the country, the Mangroves of Al Thakira. Witness the love of horses in the Arabic world at the Al Shaqab equestrian center outside of Doha. There are several museums to see including the Museum of Islamic Art. Visit one of the opulent malls for luxury shopping or for a glimpse into the daily lives of Qatar residents, go shopping at the Souq Waqif. Walk along the waters of Doha Bay or visit the Katara Cultural Village for a taste of the art and culture in this country. If you plan to go out to the sand dunes be sure to rent an SUV for your visit.
