Doha Travel Guide

Doha Nightlife

With the dearth of alcohol in Qatar, the country doesn''t have the type of nightlife scene that most western travellers would be familiar with. However there are numerous Sheesha (smoking) cafes, and the Corniche is a popular area for those keen on an evening stroll. The bars in the international hotels such as the Ritz-Carlton, the Grand Hyatt, Ramada and La Cigale are all popular nightlife spots for expats and visitors to the country. The Irish pub at the Sheraton regularly hosts live music events and the glamourous Skyview Bar at La Cigale attract a vibey clientele. Tourists wishing to purchase alcoholic beverages are required to present their passport before being served.
