Elect's take

"Qatar has surprised me with how much it offers. The combination of exceptional museums, outstanding food and desert experiences creates something genuinely worth visiting in its own right."

The Museum of Islamic Art in Doha is one of the world's great museum buildings. The National Museum of Qatar tells the story of the country through remarkable architecture. Doha has developed a strong dining scene and an impressive collection of luxury hotels. The Souq Waqif is a beautifully restored traditional market. Qatar also offers desert experiences within a short drive of the city including sand dunes and the inland sea. The country makes an excellent stopover or short break from Europe.
