It's beautiful and fun to visit this place! But not so much to do, just seeing beautiful surroundings and buildings, very cool to see! The mall is very fancy and only top luxury brands. Extremely expensive restaurants in this area! We walked around for two hours and then we left to eat at another mall, the Doha festival city (mall) where they have better food choices for better prices. Would recommend a visit to this place if you're in Doha! No entry fee. Very much locals or Saudi Arabian people, never seen so many women in niqab before!! As a tourist you can dress how you want but I rather cover up a bit in this place, since everyone else is 😅

You cannot visit Qatar without visiting Katara. This was our first stop even before going the hotel. The theater, the beach, and the restaurants and shops all integrated in charming layout. The buildings are made like old style clay exterior. A must visit in Qatar.

A very interesting location , with air-conditioning outside so very cool. Free golf cars just wave them down for a pickup or drop off any place in the complex. Just a few words of advice about the cultural area: it's not cheap, two cups of tea £10. High end shopping Mall & restaurants

You can take the world’s best metro here, the entrance is dominated by the high end dept store Galleries Lafayette and a beautiful food hall. But the village is mostly admin buildings that can’t be visited. Only the amphitheater, two art galleries, mosques and restos are open. It feels grand and empty during the week.

Good place to visit if you are in Qatar. Would recommend to go at night, for a more worthy experience.
While returning back, try to to find the AC street (Hint : it's an open street with cafes all around but you'll feel as if you are in an AC Restuarant)

A great place to experience the cultures of Qatar. It's a very big place with distinct architecture. Many great spots for photos. A beach is also nearby with the view of Qatar's skyscrapers and arriving planes that are approaching runway 16R/L of DOH.

Interesting new place with some highlights like the mosques, museum of stamps, amphitheatre and arts centre. Dedicate full half a day with some stop if interested or 1/2 if not. Unfortunately, I think on the beach were making some work at the time of my visit.

This place is great to visit in connection with seeing a show at the amphitheater. The local luxury shopping plaza is very high end and even has air conditioning vents located *outside* in the middle of the plaza and the vents provide great relief from the heat!
