Voice of Travelers to Doha

Ticket to Doha

"This is Audrey. I got into a fight with my ex boyfriend when I informed him of my wish to buy a ticket to Doha. I wanted to desperately witness the warm weather as I was tired of the cold snow. My boyfriend got scared about my decision to buy a ticket. He fought with me as he was worried about our future together. He even said I will regret buying a ticket. He said women in the Middle East are not treated nicely and I should not go there. Feeling adventurous, I bought a ticket anyway. My boyfriend broke up with me but I loved my vacation in Doha. I got to experience a different kind of freedom there. I really loved the weather, walking by the coast and visiting authentic Souks. Surprising, I ended up meeting my now- fiance here. I am really happy with my impulsive decision to buy this ticket.

Experience at Doha

I bought a ticket for my wife and me to Doha for last spring. While we were planning to go somewhere cooler, I was getting a discounted ticket so bought the ticket. My wife does not particularly like hot weather and was apprehensive about visiting the Middle East. She even fought with me saying I should not have bought the ticket. Anyway, we availed the ticket and got there in February. She surprising really enjoyed the balmy weather, walking by the coast. The shopping experience was great. My wife got to visit many Souks, their traditional bazaars. We stayed in one of the Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels where we got an authentically Arab but luxurious experience. We also visited a Turkish Spa and dined in fine Moroccan restaurants. Lastly, we visited the Gold market where I got my wife lots of gold jewelry. She was a happy camper in the end! Ticket well availed, I would say.
