Things to do
Activities across Doha and Qatar
120 things worth doing, whether you live here or you're here for a week — filter by who you're with, indoor or outdoor, free or paid, and how much time you've got.
16 activities
Katara beach & cultural village day
A full day mixing a public beach, an amphitheater, galleries, and a kids' play area.
Doha Beach Club
A newly relocated West Bay beach club with family space, a separate ladies-only beach and an outdoor dining district.
Azure Beach Doha
White sand and an infinity pool on Qetaifan Island, with resident DJs turning the afternoon into an evening if you stay past sunset.
Fuwairit Beach
An undeveloped stretch of coast 80km north of Doha where you bring your own everything and the payoff is having the beach mostly to yourself.
Katara Beach
Doha's main free public beach, tucked inside Katara Cultural Village with a dress code that's actually enforced.
Al Majles Resort Day Pass (Sealine)
Beach day and desert day rolled into one, since it's the resort sitting right where Sealine's dunes meet the water.
Banana Island Resort Day Pass
A day pass to Anantara's private-island resort, reached by a 20-minute ferry — beach, pools, adventure park and F&B credit included.
Umm Bab Beach
A free public beach on Qatar's west coast known for palm trees growing right along the shoreline — genuinely rare scenery for this coast.
Al Wakrah Beach
A free family beach south of Doha with shaded gazebos, a playground, and a promenade of restaurants right behind the sand.
Simaisma Beach
A quieter free public beach 40km north of Doha, with shallow water that's easier on families than the busier city beaches.
