You move through on foot, taking in the lively atmosphere and the blend of old-world ambiance with modern cafes and restaurants. From there, the guide drives you to Katara Cultural Village, where you explore the amphitheater, art galleries, mosques and traditional architecture that make up the cultural center. The stories behind the artistic expressions and historical landmarks come through as you walk the grounds.
The Pearl-Qatar comes next: a man-made island with Mediterranean-inspired Porto Arabia and Qanat Quartier, sometimes called "The Venice of Qatar." You see the upscale lifestyle, waterfront views and the island's significance in Qatar's development. The tour also takes in the West Bay skyline, where the Burj Doha and Tornado Tower rise above the city.
