13 hour layover in Doha

by Me2744 Online Now Jun 28, 2010 at 3:46 PM

Hello, I have a 13-hour layover in Doha. I arrive at 6:30pm and depart at 8am. Would it be possible to get a taxi and drive around the city at night? I cannot find any night tours of the city. Any ideas? Thank you.

    hi there... it depends on your nationality whether you can get visa on arrival or not otherwise it needs to be pre-arranged prior your departure. Not so much to do at nite there but at least you can go to shopping mall before its closed ;p afterward you can go along to Doha's corniche by taxi and take a picture there. cheers, ::me::

    Thank you for the reply. I will be able to get a visa at the airport in Doha. How late will the mall be open? I am thinking about getting a taxi for 30 minutes/1 hour to drive through downtown. I just want to look at the city. Would anyone know how much it can cost?

    the shopping mall closed at 21.00hrs and the nearest from airport is "the mall" 10 min drive only. The souq is more interesting for evening time, its their traditonal market. They have taxi meter there. cheers, ::me::
