Doha - A Glamorous Arabian Jewel in the Persian Gulf
Doha, the capital city of Qatar, stands out as a stunning example of modern Arabian opulence.

Doha is a city of futuristic allure, featuring man-made islands and an impressive skyline. The West Bay area is particularly notable for its modern city centre, complete with new arts centres and sleek malls. Doha could easily be dubbed the mall capital of the world, featuring the colossal Mall of Qatar, which spans 5.4 million square feet, and the open-air Katara Plaza. Another highlight is the Alhazm mall, inspired by Milan's historic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. This mall has quickly become a top attraction, offering not just shopping but also beautiful gardens and a library.
Premier by Brightsun offers great deals on business class flights to Doha year-round, allowing visitors to experience the city at its finest, particularly during the cooler months of February when temperatures average a pleasant 20°C.
