Doing as Much as Possible During Our 8hrs Layover in Doha
Did you know that you get do a city tour in Doha when your layover in Qatar is 8 hours or more? Well you can and it is much better than sitting around inside Hamad International Airport.

After getting of the plane, we headed straight to immigration and and got our first stand for Qatar. Keep in mind that Canadians can get Visa on arrival for Qatar so depending where you are from, you might have to plan this in advance.
We walked out of the airport and it was HOT!!! Thankfully we immediately jumped on a tour bus with A/C. From the airport, we did a little driving city tour, stopped where the beautiful dhows are, visited the amphitheater, the Falcon Souq and some other markets. We even had time to eat a little something and buy a souvenir. It was also super cool to see all the soccer or football stadiums and preparation for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Overall a GREAT experience!

LOVED THE VLOG, I think you should come in the winter to be specific in December it is way cooler and you have just visited some of the places there are many more amazing places you can visit too such as the sealine where the sand dunes meets the sea, Msheireb Downtown the world’s first sustainable downtown it revives the old district enveloped with modern architecture inspired by traditional Qatari heritage and architecture and it has many museums there too, AL Zubarah Fort it is a historical site in Alzubarah city It was once a thriving pearl fishing and trading port. By the way the dish is called "machbous" it is a meal consisting of rice, meat, and vegetables it is a traditional Qatari dish, typically made with either lamb or chicken and lots of spices as a Qatari machbous is my Favorite!
