Doha’s airport is located less than five miles east of the city centre. For maximum ease, ride the state-of-the-art, automated Doha Metro Red Line straight to the centre of the city. Or, choose from the fleets of turquoise taxis and the waiting limousines ready to drive you into and around the city. Local buses are another efficient way to get around.
The cultural calendar is blossoming, with venues such as the Aspire Dome (the world’s largest multi-purpose venue of its kind) hosts sporting activities and international events, in addition to Villaggio – the most sought after destination in Qatar for top of the line luxury brands. While Doha’s Exhibition Centre, Katara Drama Theatre and even a Film Institute are good starting points for a taste of Middle Eastern art, music and film.
