　　The fabulous food has made this basic, very casual restaurant an institution in Souq Waqif. Traditional Yemeni cooking draws a local crowd, who share mounds of rice and all manner of meats. The stews, too, are exceptionally good. Plus, there are salads, fresh breads, fish and very reasonably priced breakfasts (like egg shakshuka).

Must-see attractions

Sealine Beach Resort

　　This lovely low-rise, beachside resort just south of Mesaieed is a favourite among expats wanting to escape the city for the weekend. Far enough away to be unaffected by Mesaieed's heavy industry, it's ringed by glorious amber sand dunes, plus lawns and palm trees on the grounds. There's a gym,...

　　This exceptional modern exhibition space provides a home for international art with an Arab connection. Housed in an old school near Education City, the sleek building was redesigned by French architect Jean-François Bodin. The venue hosts a variety of exhibitions ranging from interactive multimedia works to a permanent collection of...

Al Jassasiya Rock Carvings

　　This profusion of petroglyphs – some 900 rock carvings depicting fish, cups in rows, rosettes, ships and foot marks – in northern Qatar has been seen by very few visitors. Until very recently, their whereabouts was all but a secret and only those in the know with a 4WD could...

　　If you fancy a swim but don't want to go too far from the city, the 1.5km beach at Katara Cultural Village is a pleasant sandy stretch with inflatable play structures for kids (purchase a day pass for QR50 from the kiosk), plus watersports from parasailing to wakeboarding on offer....

Al Zubarah Fort

　　Qatar's first and only Unesco World Heritage site appears in the desert as if out of nowhere. The impressive structure, built in 1938, has four striking towers and stands alone in a sea of sand. Inside are cabinets of artefacts containing pearl merchants' boxes and simple yet utterly genius divers'...

　　This beautiful ‘inland sea’ is one of the major natural attractions in Qatar, and it takes on an almost mystical quality under a full moon, when the sabkha (salt flats) sparkle in the gaps between the sand. Often described as a sea or a lake, the khor is in fact...

　　The fabulous food has made this basic, very casual restaurant an institution in Souq Waqif. Traditional Yemeni cooking draws a local crowd, who share mounds of rice and all manner of meats. The stews, too, are exceptionally good. Plus, there are salads, fresh breads, fish and very reasonably priced breakfasts...

　　No-frills but utterly delicious Turkish food, including fantastic breads (cooked on-site) and mezze in truly epic portions that may leave little room for the kebabs, which would be a terrible shame. It's always packed, with a refreshingly mixed clientele – Middle Eastern families, folks from the West and southeast Asia...

　　Covered in thousands of golden tiles, this striking Ottoman-style mosque shimmers in the sun. While non-Muslims can't go inside, it's one of the most spectacular mosque designs in the city, and the exterior is worth a closer look if exploring the Katara area. ...

Al Shahaniya Camel Race Track

　　The atmosphere is electric when the ‘sport of sheikhs’ – now involving remote-controlled robot jockeys – is being played at Qatar's premier camel race track. Watch from the purpose-built stadium or drive along the 8km racetrack during the race; female camels can maintain a speed of 40km/h for an entire...

East-West / West-East by Richard Serra

　　Worth the trip if you’re interested in unique art set in unusual landscapes, sculptor Richard Serra’s installation within the Brouq Nature Reserve comprises four steel plates, each more than 14m tall, spread out over a kilometre of the desolate western Qatari desert. You may even spot an ostrich or gazelle...

　　Doha makes full use of its attractive waterfront promenade, which stretches 7km along Doha Bay and was carefully constructed from landfill to make a pleasing crescent. The best views are from the water's edge close to the Museum of Islamic Art, with dhows (traditional cargo boats) in the foreground and...
