Doha is good for eating extremely well, the once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing, sunshine and salt water, moving about and doing things.

A skyline that did not exist a generation ago now floodlit along the corniche, a souk trading spices and falcons in the same alley, and a desert an hour out for dune-bashing before the sun gets serious.

The best time to visit Doha is Nov–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 35°C (95°F). Local time there is 00:53 (UTC+3).
