Combining art galleries and workshops, theatres and performances venues, and exceptional restaurants set on a waterfront promenade, Katara Cultural Village is Doha’s destination for culture and entertainment. A central amphitheatre stands against a backdrop of traditional architecture and cobbled streets, and is the site of many cultural performances. Adjoining the main development, a spacious public beach offers water sports and equipment rentals.

The Pearl-Qatar
Located on the site of one of Qatar’s former pearl diving beds, the Pearl-Qatar is a man-made island with luxury towers and villas, high-end shopping, hotels and fine dining. Visitors can marvel at super yachts as they stroll along the marina, then settle down for some people-watching while enjoying a meal at one of the area’s many waterfront restaurants. Chic boutiques and luxury car dealerships shine in a setting inspired by the architecture of the Middle East and the Mediterranean. The Pearl-Qatar offers ample opportunities to enjoy the warm waters of the Arabian Gulf: charter a boat, try a class in stand-up paddle boarding, or simply relax on one of the island’s public or hotel beaches.
Qatar National Library
QNL aspires to be one of the world's pre-eminent centres of learning, research, and culture; an institution that promotes imagination and discovery and acts as a guardian of the region’s heritage. Developing innovative programmes and services, and through the use of technology, the library also offers several programmes and courses for the community.
Qanat Quartier
A feast for the eyes, this Venice-inspired neighbourhood brings a piece of the Mediterranean to Doha. Boasting turquoise canals flanked by candy-coloured buildings and gracefully arched bridges, Qanat Quartier abounds with Instagram-worthy vistas. Play a tune on the musical staircase, or take a leisurely stroll down broad avenues as you wander in and out of the neighbourhood’s many boutiques and cafés. Grab a coffee, stick your toes in the sand, and take in stunning views of the Arabian Gulf from Qanat Quartier’s beachfront promenade.
