This is a great place to relax in Doha, an island given over to leisure just off the coast. Take a boat over and in five minutes the modern city has been replaced by a relaxed world of beaches, swimming pools and restaurants. As it is also largely pedestrianised, it is very popular as a safe oasis for families, both local and foreign.
