There is always something to do around Doha, its Capital City; however the most popular place that visitors head for is Doha’s corniche or seafront. A public promenade that extends for four miles you will find the high end hotels, restaurants, shops and beautiful beaches there. Doha was once a quaint pearl fishing village, and it is now a place where East meets West in both architecture and culture. A land of contrasts, Qatar is steadfastly trying to increase its popularity to its visitors so as to make it a destination rather than a stopover.
