Qatar

Prior to 1989 it was tricky to enter Qatar as a tourist but these days the country is warmly hospitable and a unique holiday destination. With plenty of high-class hotels, restaurants and wonderful leisure facilities surrounded by the inland sea of towering sand dunes… perfect for an exciting desert safari. Wonderful beaches stretch alongside the glistening Arabian Gulf and large modern shopping complexes offer world famous brands alongside bustling souq market stalls – once the preserve of Bedouin traders.
