Qatar gaining popularity as luxury tourism destination

Doha: Qatar’s tourism sector has fared well compared to global benchmarks despite the challenges posed by the pandemic. Doha was ranked 3rd ‘Trending Destination’ in the world in Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2021.

Doha has emerged as a centre of leisure activities including city helicopter tours and marine leisure activities.

Luxury tourism creates unique experiences, and a more personalised approach to services, according to Founder of OutingQatar, Mosaad Moustafa Eleiwa.

“It’s no surprise that this is now becoming the leading form of tourism in Qatar. Qatar offers a rich variety of choice to the tourists. Whether your interest is sports, culture, art, education, or modern luxury, there is a place for you in Qatar,” he said while talking to The Peninsula.  

OutingQatar, a luxury tourism agency collaborating with Qatar National Tourism Council, offers a wide variety of services: a large fleet of luxury cars available for self-drive or chauffeured rides, several yachts of varying sizes that can cater to anything from a fishing expedition to an event, and incredible helicopter tours of Doha.

“Our services aren’t just for visitors. We pride ourselves in offering new and exciting experiences even to those who have lived their entire lives in Qatar. We aim to show you Qatar like you’ve never seen it before,” said Mohanad Rwaished, Marketing Manager at OutingQatar. 

He said the helicopter tour of Doha was more popular. “The helicopter tour is an amazing 30-minute tour of the city of Doha, you can see all the amazing landmarks in Doha from a breathtaking view. It is one of the most popular and demanded services. It is affordable and easy to book,” said Rwaished.

As the gradual lifting of COVID-19 restrictions coincides with summer, many are taking to luxury yacht rides to escape from the heat. “We provide the finest luxury yachts of varying sizes, from cozy enough for a family, to large enough to host an event. 

Rwaished added: “We provide catering, events, and water activities as well. We pride ourselves in fulfilling the most unique events, from a wedding on a yacht, to an anniversary celebrated on a helipad in one of the amazing towers of Doha.”

For booking, people can reach OutingQatar on Instagram @outingqatar or their website (outing.qa). It will also launch a mobile application soon.
