Doha is one of the world's most underestimated transit destinations — most Australians fly through Hamad International Airport without realising that a 30-day visa-free entry policy and a genuinely compelling city lie just outside. The Museum of Islamic Art is among the world's finest, the Inland Sea desert is extraordinary, and the Souq Waqif captures authentic Gulf culture in a way that Dubai no longer quite manages. Qatar is 30 days visa-free for Australians.

The city of superlatives — the world's tallest building, the world's largest mall, extraordinary architecture, a thriving food scene and a desert landscape that surrounds one of the world's most ambitious cities.
