The early months of the year are ideal for experiencing a beach vacation in the Maldives. Some of my clients have asked me to add something captivating to the program before they immerse themselves in the atmosphere of total relaxation in a luxury resort on a Maldivian atoll. I created an interesting itinerary for them that I offer here, taking advantage of a promotion valid from January 15 to April 5. With the spotlight off the World Cup, I thought I would enhance the trip to the Maldives with a short tour to explore Qatar, a fascinating little Gulf country that I had the opportunity to visit last year. Here's the winning combination!
- Discover Qatar in three days
Half a day dedicated to visiting Doha with an English-speaking guide: the Souq Waqif, a bazaar full of traditional and local stores; the National Museum, a fantastic structure in the shape of a desert rose that encapsulates Qatar's history, nature, and traditions, designed by the famous architect Jean Nouvel; the Katara Cultural Village, a combination of reinterpreted traditional and ancient architecture that hosts performances and concerts. You cannot miss a desert tour, a fun experience together with expert dune-riding (dune bashing) drivers. The itinerary goes as far as the "inland sea," an area bordering Saudi Arabia.
Stay at the Sheraton Grand Doha Resort and Convention Hotel located in the West Bay area, situated on a private beach in downtown Doha. The property offers 371 rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows that allow natural light to filter in and a balcony with views of the sea, city skyline or resort grounds.
