In the field of tourism, Qatar remains one of the fastest growing countries. Remarkable development in the country and establishment of tourism facilities have greatly helped in the progress of tourism in Qatar.
Tourism in Qatar is divided into several categories – cultural, historical, religious and maritime. The most prominent Qatari tourist attraction is Mathaf: the Arab Museum of Modern Art, which reveals the technical inventory of contemporary Arabs in an attractive and distinctive way. The museum contains many fine works of art and textiles reflecting the Arab and Muslim world. The museum has gained an eminent position both internally and externally, and has become an important tourist destination for many visitors.
Aqua Park Qatar is a beautiful water park built over 50,000 square metres featuring exciting water sports. It is considered one of the most beautiful places where families can spend pleasurable time. Doha Corniche is another beautiful destination that gives the city a special character, since it has many distinctive and attractive landmarks along with many government departments and institutions.
Banana Island is another great tourist destination with its hotels and restaurants and entertainment places suitable for families and different age groups. Souq Waqif is a traditional market and one of the most important tourist attractions in Doha, with a combination of traditional and urban life. It has many local, Arab, and international restaurants.
This season until April 2018 will witness the arrival of 21 cruise ships to Doha port, including five cruise ships to visit the shores of Qatar for the first time as part of tours in the Arab Gulf.
