Palm Tree Island
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 Take a boat over and in five minutes the modern city has been replaced by a relaxed world of beaches, swimming pools and restaurants.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.

Al Shaqab Stud
For horse lovers this is the city's number one attraction, a chance to get right up close to Emir Sheik Hamad Bin Ali Al Thani's famed horses. Tours include visits to the training grounds and stables, with often the chance to see one of the ultra expensive horses being taken for a trot around the expansive grounds.
