If you’re thinking about your next accessible trip, Qatar is definitely worth considering. Dune bashing, desert visits, kayaking, history tours, dinner cruises and more activities have all been tailored to the needs of people with disabilities. These activities combined with sandy beaches, international top restaurants, and world famous shops surely make Qatar an accessible travel destination to be remembered!
Healthcare quality is generally very high, and there are many pharmacies with English speaking staff throughout Doha city. Some of them are open 24 hours. Getting good travel insurance is recommended as medical appointments and treatments can be expensive. Temperatures can get very hot. Travelers should remember to drink plenty of water and avoid long periods of sun exposure. It is also a good idea to keep an extra layer of clothing when entering air-conditioned buildings as temperature differences can be surprising.
Qatar is one of the safest places in the world. Travelers should use their common sense, like anywhere else. Visitors should remember to respect the Islamic law. They cannot drink alcohol or be drunk in public areas, should not display any public signs of affection, and it is forbidden to take pictures of public buildings. Travelers should dress modestly when in public, and women should cover their shoulders and avoid wearing short skirts.
Travelers entering the country must hold a valid passport with a minimum validity of 6 months, and a confirmed onward or return ticket. Depending on the passport they hold, they will also require a visa, an electronic travel authorisation, or, for 80 different nationalities, a visa waiver that can be obtained upon arrival. Please check the list of countries to verify the entry requirements prior to traveling.
