Qatar travel guide: Visa information and cultural highlights

Qatar offers diverse travel experiences beyond its role as the 2022 FIFA World Cup host. Travelers can explore the historic Souq Waqif in Doha, which features traditional spice markets, a falcon souq, and nearby camel and Arabian horse stables.

Beyond the urban landscape, the country provides opportunities for desert adventures and visits to serene mangrove forests. Doha is easily navigable via a modern metro system following arrivals at Hamad International Airport.

Visa requirements are minimal for many international visitors. Citizens from over 102 countries, including all European Union member states, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Iceland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Azerbaijan, can enter Qatar without a visa, provided they have a passport valid for at least three months and a confirmed hotel reservation.
