Qatar’s hospitable nature is showcased in its visa process, as nationalities from 102 countries can enter visa-free, and all others can apply for an e-visa using the Hayya platform online. The Hayya platform makes visa processes easier for all foreign visitors. This includes the residents of countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council travelling with companions. Learn more about Hayya here. While acquiring a visa, it’s essential to have a valid hotel booking confirmation or alternative proof of accommodation for your stay in Qatar. Before booking your accommodation, we suggest you start the process of obtaining the entry visa through the Hayya Portal to validate if the Qatari government requires you to book and provide proof of your accommodation through the Discover Qatar portal.
The expected temperatures during the conference are highs of 35°C with very high heat and humidity, falling to 24°C at night, so make sure to pack appropriately for the warm weather!
While Doha welcomes all cultures and nationalities, it is important to be sensitive to local values and mannerisms. For example, it is encouraged for visitors to dress modestly when roaming around the city.
While Arabic is the official language spoken by Qataris, English is widely known and used throughout the city, making it easy for foreign visitors to get around.
Visitors can discover Doha by road, air or sea – as a variety of options – from bus, to metro, to taxis, or even dhows available throughout the day.
