If you’re looking to take your kids to a destination where there’s never a dull moment with plenty of things to do and see, then Doha is the place to go, and these are some experiences you should not miss.
Walk Along the Doha Corniche
A charming waterfront promenade overlooking West Bay, the Doha Corniche is ideal for relaxation and recreation. You can take a leisurely walk with the family and soak up the stunning views, while kids can look to fly kites too. The Corniche also features lovely parks and play areas for children, and for something different, you can go on a dhow cruise. You can find hotel deals in Doha at nearby properties to easily visit this promenade throughout your holiday.
Explore the Souq Waqif
A historical Qatari marketplace, the Souq Waqif is an expansive area with maze-like streets that will captivate both children and adults alike. Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels by Tivoli which can be found here too provides an ideal base to explore this market, home to vendors selling traditional handicrafts, colorful textiles, aromatic spices, and more. Kids are bound to be particularly interested in the Falcon Souq (you can ask to take a picture of a falcon on their arm), the horse stables, and the camel pen too.
Have Fun at Gondalania
Within the luxurious Villaggio Mall, one will find a stunning indoor theme park known as Gondolania. Amongst the best family attractions in Doha, it features everything from a skating rink to gondola rides on canals reminiscent of what you find in Venice! But wait there’s more; it also has a Ferris wheel, bumper cars, go-kart racing, 4D theatre, bowling, and arcade games, while the flume ride, drop tower, and rollercoaster provide lots of thrills for older kids.
Spend Time at Katara Beach
Located next to the Katara Cultural Village, Katara Beach offers fun in the sun, sand, and surf for young and old alike. Apart from unwinding on the sand or building sandcastles with the little ones, you can also look forward to exciting water sports including kayaking, parasailing, and going on banana boat rides. Adding to the allure of this idyllic stretch of shore is that it features play areas for children as well as restaurants and cafés nearby, perfect when hunger strikes!
