Arrivals & Departures Get a free stopover in Doha with Qatar Airways

The airline has teamed up with Qatar Tourism to offer transit passengers the opportunity to discover Doha with free luxury hotel stays and complimentary transit visas.

A free one-night stay is available at a selection of four and five-star hotels including the Four Seasons, Marriott Marquis, Radisson Blu and Oryx Rotana. A second night is available with a booking fee of $50.  

Available throughout the northern summer, the offer gives passengers the chance to explore Doha and experience city tours, desert safari adventures or a dinner cruise aboard a traditional dhow.

The offer is available to all Qatar Airways passengers, in both premium and economy classes.

Since launching the transit visa in November, the country has seen a surge in stopover passengers, with a 53 per cent increase in March compared to the same month last year, according to the Qatar Tourism Authority.

Qatar's Hamad International Airport sees 30 million passengers a year, while the airline has 197 aircraft flying to more than 150 destinations on six continents. New destinations being launched in 2017 include Nice, Dublin and Skopje.
