A country steeped in tradition, Qatar is all about mesmerizing culture, cuisine and sand dunes. The capital Doha boasts a spectacular glass-and-steel skyline. It’s home to an emerging culinary scene as well and is home to the Museum of Islamic Art. Intrepid travellers can go dune-bashing in the desert or watch camels race across the sand. Culture enthusiasts, on the other hand, can visit the gorgeous souqs (markets), such as Souq Waqif. No matter where your interests lie, a walk along Doha Corniche and a dhow ride are just some of the ways to spend an afternoon and evening. End your day at one of the many sophisticated restaurants that now lie all over the country. While you’re vacationing here, why not stay at one of the country’s most famous hotels? Check out our list of the top famous hotels in Qatar, for a great stay.

1. Marsa Malaz Kempinski, The Pearl, Doha (from USD 318)

Tucked on a private island called The Pearl off Doha’s coast is Marsa Malaz Kempinski, one of the most opulent hotels in the city. The hotel can only be described as a Qatari Palace and is famous for an almost 152-meter-long (500-foot-long) private beach. Choose to swim and lounge at one of the 8 pools and drink and dine at one of the 11 restaurants. After a day of exploring the city, treat yourself to a massage or a body treatment at Clarins Spa.

The highlight, though, is the 1920s-themed nightclub, Illusion. After a night of dancing away to glory, retreat to your rooms, all of which have private balconies or terraces with mesmerizing views of the Persian Gulf.
