Doha

Doha is the stunning capital city of Qatar, famous for its stunning, skyscraper-lined waterfront (as well as its reputation for being one of the safest places in the world). Filled with many local markets, historic landmarks, museums, beaches, and children’s amusement parks (many of which are located in Doha’s famous shopping malls). While spending time in Doha, you can even trek a little further to experience the Middle East or one of the nearby islands. Since Doha is a Muslim city, it is important to ensure that you pack accordingly to adhere to their conservative traditions and dress code (for example, women are required to wear headscarves). If you are looking for a unique city to explore before or after your cruise, consider taking one out of Doha! Many more cruise lines offer cruises that visit Doha, rather that starting from it.

A great time to visit Doha for its most pleasant weather is generally between October and April.
