Planning a romantic escape with your special someone? Well, if that’s the case, then make Doha your destination of choice. While it may fly under the radar of typical romantic places to visit, you will be surprised at the many things couples can do here as part of a magical getaway.
Embark on a Sunset Dhow Cruise
Set sail from the Doha Corniche on a dhow (a traditional boat) as the sun begins its descent. The golden hues reflecting off the water and the city skyline glittering in the background set the perfect mood. Some cruises even come with dinner for a night like no other, before you return to one of the Doha-based hotel apartments in Qatar and plan more escapades!
Explore the Souq Waqif
Sharing new discoveries is one of the best things about travelling with a partner, and Souq Waqif, a vast, historic marketplace, is perfect for this. Couples staying at properties like Al Najada Doha Hotel Apartments by Oaks can easily walk to this site and wander around its atmospheric alleys; the scent of spices fills the air, and every corner reveals a new treasure. Shop for keepsakes, sample local dishes, and soak up the old-world charm together.
Enjoy a Stroll at Aspire Park
Sometimes the best moments are the simplest. At Aspire Park, you will find a tranquil lake, open green spaces, and winding paths ideal for an afternoon stroll, one of the best things to do in Doha for couples. Spread out a blanket, share a yummy picnic and just enjoy being together. Visit around golden hour and watch the sky turn pastel… it’s basically like a setting of a rom-com in real life!
Go on a Gondola Ride
Yes, you read that right, you can actually take a gondola ride in Doha! At Villaggio Mall, float along indoor canals in a setting inspired by Venice itself. It’s romantic, and you are bound to surprise your Insta followers with selfies on a gondola. After your ride, check out Gondolania, an indoor theme park here which offers ice skating and bowling, which are also great activities for a fun date night.
