providing brief explanations where necessary, and linking to more in-depth articles that will answer all of your questions on the topic. And believe me, there are far more positives than negatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We won&#8217;t dwell on the negatives, as there are only two: alcohol is prohibited and it gets very hot in the summer. Alcohol cannot be purchased or brought into the country, but where it is available, such as in restaurants in tourist hotels, it can be quite expensive at $15 per glass of beer. As for the heat, it can reach +45 degrees Celsius in July and August, making it difficult to be outdoors, but the winter months are comfortable at +20-25 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/qatar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/04\/10reason-1.jpg\" alt=\"reasons to visit qatar\" class=\"wp-image-496\" width=\"706\" height=\"396\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Doha is already impressive today, and this is just the beginning.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Doha_is_a_magnificent_transportation_hub_and_home_to_one_of_the_best_airports\"><\/span>Doha is a magnificent transportation hub and home to one of the best airports<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Doha is the capital of Qatar and is shown in the photo above. It is a city of the future that will amaze you. It is home to a massive and modern international airport, the Hamad International Airport, which is the hub of one of the world&#8217;s most amazing airlines, Qatar Airways. This airline is considered to be a five-star airline and is a member of the powerful Star Alliance group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Good to know:<\/p>\n<cite>Today, direct flights from Doha can take you to more than 150 cities around the world.

The metro solves both of these problems.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>From Doha airport, you can reach the city center in 30 minutes and for less than $2 (a day pass) by metro.

You can rent a car with your standard driver&#8217;s license (even not International), there are a few peculiarities and nuances, but believe me, you will have enough to explore the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the prices for the richest country in the world are ridiculous, no higher than in most countries in the world, or even lower. There are many options for $30-50 per day. Car rental in Italy and Croatia was much more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Everything about <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/qatar\/car-rental-in-qatar\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1527\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>renting a car for tourists<\/strong><\/a>: personal experience and pitfalls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/qatar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/04\/10reason-4.jpg\" alt=\"visit qatar reasons\" class=\"wp-image-489\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The installation is called East-West\/West-East.

And you can see it all in 1-2 days, even during a transit through the country. The main thing is to know how to plan.

Absolutely nothing threatens you at any time of day or night, in any corner of the country. There&#8217;s even no intrusive service like in other Eastern countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It&#8217;s important to understand:<\/p>\n<cite>Qatar is much safer than Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, New York. There are no drug dealers in the center, like in Paris with illegal African migrants. There are no car break-ins due to a jacket left on the seat, like in Barcelona. Nobody begs for a dollar or steals your wallet, and pickpocketing is as rare here as rain.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_taxes_and_%E2%80%9Ccheap%E2%80%9D_shopping\"><\/span>No taxes and &#8220;cheap&#8221; shopping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a paradox. On one hand, everyone knows Qatar as the wealthiest country in the world, where prices for everything are very high. But on the other hand, there is no VAT, income tax, or other taxes in Qatar that would increase the cost of goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you can buy branded items and electronics at reasonable prices. For example, an iPhone without VAT in Doha is cheaper than in our home stores by 100-200$. And, of course, for those who love yellow gold, it will be paradise here. There is a huge selection, and prices are low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/qatar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/04\/10reason-6.jpg\" alt=\"qatar pros for tourism\" class=\"wp-image-491\" width=\"506\" height=\"900\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A golden finger (actually bronze), but made on a large scale \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/qatar\/best-places-for-shopping-in-doha\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1831\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Details about stores, markets, and shopping in Qatar.

These places are Namibia in Africa and Qatar. Here, it&#8217;s not just white sand by the water, but a true desert that abuts the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Qatar, the dunes meet the Persian Gulf, and this area begins just 30 kilometers from Doha.
