Come Solo - Return with friends, memories and so much more!
Every year, we meet thousands of solo travelers from all around the world in Qatar. Every single person is different, yet there is one spark that unites them all.
The Excitement For Exploring Qatar.
Operating in the Middle East for the last 10 to 15 years, if we had to name one location in Middle East that offers a vibrant mix of of traditional Arabic culture, modern architecture, and
historical sites, Qatar would be on top of the list being an ideal destination for solo travelers. Located on the Arabian Gulf, Qatar boasts stunning landscapes, from the
desert to the sea, and is home to the world-renowned museum of Islamic art, which showcases exquisite pieces of art.
One of our solo adventurer said,
For solo female travelers, exploring Qatar is the best decision they can make. Qatar is the known for its safety and hospitality and I felt it is one of the safest countries to visit. I loved walking around Doha. The city is full of vibrant cultural offerings, Islamic Art, historical markets like Souq Waqif.
I also met other women tourists on my shared tours.
Meeting Other Travelers on Your Solo Trip to Qatar
Doha, Qatar, is popular for community events. Every week on Thursdays and Fridays, you will see different communities gathering together for kayaking (10/10 summer activity),
Keshta in the desert (Keshta is a Picnic Setup with Arabic Tea or Coffee and Dates), or Scavenger Hunts in the city (Yes! We arrange exciting
scavenger hunts - perfect for bonding and meeting new people).
Honestly, Qatar has both modern and historical & cultural sides to it, which offers a memorable experience. And when this Must-Visit Location combines with the
community events, it creates a spark, that you cannot find anywhere else.
(NGL, you can find this spark in Dubai too. Follow us on
Instagram for shared tours happening in Dubai)
Hear the experience of other solo travelers:
I explored the beautiful beaches, vibrant markets, and world-class restaurants, and the best part was strolling along the Doha Corniche, enjoying the city’s lively atmosphere. With its convenient location and modern infrastructure, including Hamad International Airport, Qatar is an easily accessible destination for travelers from around the world.
A random tip: although you can stay in the hotels, but I would suggest getting an Airbnb in one of the residential towers, it gives more authentic experience exploring Qatar and and you get to meet locals too.

Few months back, we organized a Sound Healing & Yoga Event with the Awaken Doha Community in Ramadan. Around 40+ people joined in from entire Qatar, we provided smooth pick up and drop off services from a common point in Doha.
Our professional guides took drove everyone through the dunes. The sight of the desert meeting the sea looked breathtaking. Everyone enjoyed riding on the camels, sandboarding and of course, taking photos at the beautiful location.

For solo female travelers and locals too, we organized a kayaking trip to the hidden gem of Qatar:
Al Mafjar Mangroves. This beautiful location is outside the main city of Qatar, hence the reason why most of the people haven't checked it out yet. With the aim of helping travelers and tourists discover the mangroves, we provided a comfortable bus ride from the common point Doha.
Our professional guides taught everyone to paddle and kayak. Even those who had never kayaked in their life, were able to smoothly enjoy the kayaking trip. Then everyone shared their favorite snacks and food items, they had brought. This was a perfect way to bond and connect with new people.
