Just returned from Qatar, here are all the tips for a one-day transit tour.

The city center is about an hour's drive from the airport, so round trip counts as 2 hours. If your transit time is more than 6 hours, you can choose your favorite attractions to check out. Among them, Souq Waqif is next to the metro station, which is more convenient. ✈️ Departure Attention transit passengers! Whether or not your luggage is checked through, if you want to go out and explore, follow the baggage claim signs to pick up your luggage, do not go to transfer, or you won’t be able to get out. 📱 SIM Card China Mobile offers the "Belt and Road Roaming" service, I bought it at a promotional price of 11 RMB, very cost-effective. ⚠️ Two important points to note: 1. The one-day validity period is based on Beijing time. 2. You need to complete the purchase before turning on cellular data and data roaming. 🚇 Metro The one-day metro card is not expensive, 12 RMB. To avoid hassle, I didn’t buy single tickets, just got the Day Pass, it doesn’t matter if you use it more or less. The metro has Gold (different price), Standard, and Family cards. Men can use the Standard card, women can use any. Men traveling with women can use the Family card. 💰 Currency Exchange There is a currency exchange counter on the right side after exiting the airport. However, if you have a Visa card (without UnionPay logo), no need to exchange money, just use your card directly, it’s convenient. 🏝️ Attractions All of Qatar’s attractions take about 3-4 days to see. If you travel often, no need to check them all at once, just split your transit into several one-day tours. City tours need 2 days, desert 1 day. 2️⃣ Suggested Day Tours: D1: National Museum - Mina District & Old Port - Museum of Islamic Art - Souq Waqif - Falcon Souq - Doha Fort - Msheireb Museums D2: The Pearl Island - Katara Cultural Village - Place Vendôme / Lusail Stadium (not in the same area) ♥️ Hi, I’m Dawa Medo, a travel planner who loves wandering around the world.
