Owing to the hot desert climate most tourists prefer entering Qatar during the winter. This time of the year sports tolerable temperature during the day and very pleasant evenings. However, the tourist crowd is considerably large during these months and most points of interest are very crowded. The milder temperatures make sightseeing possible and partaking in adventure sports is also enjoyable during this time.

If you do plan a trip during the summers, you must remember to stay indoors during the day. The dry and extremely hot environment is intolerable and even locals try to stay indoors as much as possible.

Alternatively, you can plan your trip around the many festivals and cultural events that take place throughout the year. The most popular options are the Doha film festival, National Day celebrations and International food festival.
