Go to the corniche, and go on a dhow cruise. You can see spectacular museums and buildings and markets anywhere in the world, but a cruise aboard a traditional Qatari wooden boat is an experience unique to Qatar.

Cash only. No credit cards are accepted on the boat. For a list of cruise companies check qatartourism.gov.qa
