Like most of the emirates of the Middle East, Qatar owes its prosperity to oil. Thanks to oil money, cities have sprung up like mushrooms from the desert dunes. Doha, the former fishing village, has become a major metropolis. Each district of the city is dedicated to a particular theme. The Aspire Zone, for example, is dedicated to sport. Education City is devoted to research and education. The Skyline brings together most of the city's skyscrapers. Take advantage of your stay in Doha to visit its many museums, the most beautiful of which is undoubtedly the Mathaf, the Arab Museum of Modern Art. This 55,000 m² museum exhibits some 6,000 works from the Middle East. The Museum of Islamic Art houses a rich collection of works dating from the 7th to the 19th centuries. Doha is not Qatar's only tourist city. Dukhan is also worth a visit, if only to enjoy the joy of the water on one of its immense beaches. The sight of oil gushing from the derrick is another curiosity you can admire in Dukhan.
Despite its acceptance of Western-style modernism, Qatar remains deeply attached to its culture and historical heritage. In addition to contemporary buildings, there are age-old monuments such as the Zubara Fort, now a museum, the Umm Salm Mahammad and the Borj Baran. Despite the omnipresence of the desert, Qatar has a contrasting landscape that deserves your full attention. Doha and Dukhan, which run along the Qatari coast, already give you an idea of what beach tourism in Qatar can be like, but to find the country's most outstanding beaches, you'll have to head to Shara'o Island. Here, vast stretches of wildly beautiful fine sand await you. If you're lucky, you'll come across birds on the beaches, just like you, enjoying the sunshine. You can also go diving and discover many varieties of tropical fish in shimmering colors. Heading towards Dhakira, you'll discover picturesque fishing villages nestled in the heart of the mangrove swamps. To enhance your stay in Qatar, treat yourself to a sea excursion aboard a bhow, the traditional Qatari boat. Take advantage of the opportunity to swim in the open sea and sample local culinary specialties served on the ship's deck.
Qatar enjoys a warm, dry climate all year round. Summer temperatures can be stifling, so it's best to plan your trip for winter. Winter in Qatar runs from November to April. In this season, although the sun is always shining, the thermometer rarely rises above 25°C, which is perfect for walking and swimming in the sea. What's more, if you need to cool off a bit during your walk, all you have to do is go to a public place. Accustomed to living in intense heat, Qataris have equipped all their public places with air conditioning.
