Booking in advance is always beneficial. There are plenty of luxurious hotels in Doha and quality accommodations in Al Wakrah.

Clothing and Essentials:
During the summer, carry lightweight clothing, hats, and sunscreen. In the cooler months, light woolen clothes for the evening would be suitable. Always bring comfortable shoes for walking.

Public display of affection is looked down upon. During Ramadan, eating, drinking, or smoking in public during daylight hours is forbidden.
