Doha Travel & Taxi Cost Breakdown
Between matches, I squeezed in some sightseeing around Doha. Here's a quick recap plus handy taxi fares for reference! 🏛️ Must-Visit Spots Museum of Islamic Art The building itself is a masterpiece. Crowd vibe: More photo-takers than actual art admirers—perfect for leisurely exploring. National Museum of Qatar Another architectural gem (the structure alone is worth the visit!). Pro tip: The souvenir shop (upstairs from tickets) is small but chic. Snagged a "real" fossilized snail (or so claimed the clerk—take it with a grain of salt 🐚). Katara Cultural Village Went at night—quiet but photogenic. Ideal for Instagrammers, less so for hardcore sightseers. Souq Waqif Bustling after dark! Felt like Aladdin might pop out any moment. Great for snacks and souvenirs. 🚖 Taxi Costs (From West Bay area—useful if you're staying nearby!) Airport → Hotel: 38 QAR (taxi) Hotel ↔ Souq Waqif: 12 QAR (to) / 16 QAR (back) 🤷♀️ Why the price gap? Mystery! Hotel → Islamic Art Museum: 13 QAR Museum → National Museum: 7 QAR National Museum → Lusail Sports Arena: 41 QAR (Note: Not the stadium!) Hotel ↔ Katara Village: 9 QAR (to) / 15 QAR (back) Hotel → Airport: 34 QAR (Uber) #DohaTravel #QatarOnABudget #TaxiHacks #SoloTravel #MuseumHopping
