Discover Qatar

Qatar is compact enough to cross in a morning, yet varied enough to make every stop feel different. One moment you're walking through the winding lanes of Souq Waqif, the next you're standing beneath the futuristic curves of the National Museum or watching the desert meet the sea at Khor Al Adaid. As an experienced DMC in Qatar, Odyssey DMC brings together Doha's modern energy, deep-rooted culture, desert landscapes and coastal experiences into journeys shaped around the people travelling.

Qatar Travel Packages: Across Culture, Coast & Desert

While Qatar may be a small peninsula, it has much to discover far beyond the city skyline. Doha has a blend of modern architecture and souqs, museums, promenades, and beyond the city, rolling desert landscapes, rock formations, and unhurried coastlines.

This contrast makes for varied Qatar package holidays and each traveller is catered for, from culture trips, city breaks, desert adventure breaks to beach holidays, or simply a bespoke journey compiled with an itinerary that suits. With Odyssey DMC pieces together the local arrangements to each destination.

We start the journey at the culturally rich capital, Doha, where old and new sit in harmony. Wander along the lively lanes of Souq Waqif, and view the capital's modern cityscape from the promenade Corniche as well as learn more of Qatar's History. Leaving behind the cityscape for the desert. Towers of dunes emerge on the path leading to Khor Al Adaid.

Qatar Beyond Doha

There is more to Qatar than its capital. Head north and the landscape becomes quieter, with coastal roads, heritage sites and wide-open spaces replacing the city's towers. Inland, desert landscapes create a completely different setting, while carefully selected experiences offer a closer look at the country's traditions and natural character. This route works particularly well for doha travel packages that want to go beyond the city's landmarks and give travellers a broader sense of Qatar.

  • Explore the northern coastline and quieter landscapes beyond Doha
  • Visit Al Zubarah and discover one of Qatar's most significant heritage sites
  • Experience the desert through dune drives, photography and outdoor adventures
  • Discover local flavours through traditional Qatari cuisine and dining experiences
  • Balance cultural exploration with time by the coast and Arabian Gulf
