Have a wander 闲逛

November-December is a great time of year to visit Qatar. Temperatures range from 17 to 30C (63 to 86F) - perfect to wander or jog around the city, picnic in the park or try a water sport.

You’ll notice quickly that people in Qatar love the waterfront. To the north of Doha is Lusail 📍 , which has a broad Marina with food trucks, fountains, and a tree-lined walkway along the water.

South of Doha is Wakra, which has its own Souq 📍 on the water where people shop, dine, walk and play.

Doha’s Corniche 📍 will be the main attraction. A seven-kilometre (4.3 miles) stretch will be turned into a Fan Festival with performances, cultural activities, food and beverages, dhow (boat) rides, and spaces to lounge and meet new people.

Along the Corniche are two big parks, the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) Park 📍 and al-Bidda Park 📍, green oases that will also be buzzing.

Further in town are Aspire Park 📍 and Oxygen Park 📍. Aspire Park, one of Doha’s largest, is next to Khalifa Stadium and has duck ponds, pedal boats, fountains, cafes, and lots of space to roam.

Oxygen Park is in Education City and is a great spot for running, playing football, or finding your Zen with some yoga.

11 月至 12 月是访问卡塔尔的好时机。 温度范围为 17 至 30C(63 至 86F)——非常适合在城市中漫步或慢跑、在公园野餐或尝试水上运动。

 您很快就会注意到卡塔尔人热爱海滨。 多哈的北面是卢赛尔📍,这里有宽阔的码头,有美食车、喷泉,还有一条绿树成荫的水边人行道。

 多哈南部是瓦克拉,它在水上有自己的集市 📍,人们在那里购物、用餐、散步和玩耍。

 多哈的滨海路📍将是主要景点。 七公里(4.3 英里)长的路段将变成一个粉丝节,其中包括表演、文化活动、食品和饮料、独桅帆船(船)游乐设施,以及休息和结识新朋友的空间。

 沿着滨海路有两个大公园,伊斯兰艺术博物馆 (MIA) 公园 📍 和 al-Bidda 公园 📍,绿洲也会热闹非凡。

 Oxygen Park 位于教育城,是跑步、踢足球或通过瑜伽寻找禅宗的好去处。

Spend a day at the Pearl 在珍珠度过一天

 The Pearl 📍, a Doha landmark, is an artificial island designed to resemble pearls nestled in their oysters.


The multibillion-dollar complex comprises 12 districts, each with its own architectural style.


Medina Centrale, sitting between the two largest “pearls”, is a Spanish-inspired retail and residential district where people dine, shop, watch a movie, or spend time at the indoor entertainment centre.


In Qanat Quartier, the “Venice of Qatar”, you can lounge on the beach, visit canal-side restaurants and cafes, or take a boat through its pastel waterways.


The Pearl, like Doha, has evolved rapidly over the years. The satellite images below show how the Pearl has grown since construction began in 2004.

珍珠 📍 是多哈的一个地标,是一个人工岛,其设计类似于嵌在牡蛎中的珍珠。

 这个耗资数十亿美元的综合体包括 12 个区,每个区都有自己的建筑风格。

 Medina Centrale 位于两颗最大的“珍珠”之间,是一个西班牙风格的零售和住宅区,人们在这里用餐、购物、看电影或在室内娱乐中心消磨时光。

 在“卡塔尔的威尼斯”Qanat Quartier,您可以在海滩上休息,参观运河边的餐馆和咖啡馆,或者乘船穿过柔和的水道。

 与多哈一样,明珠多年来发展迅速。 下面的卫星图像显示了珍珠号自 2004年开始建设以来的发展情况。
