Your trip starts at Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA). This airport handles international flights and sits about 56 kilometers south of the city center. Arrive at the airport at least three hours early so you have enough time to check your bags and pass through passport control.
You will land at Hamad International Airport (DOH). This is a massive, highly modern airport. After you get your bags, you can take a taxi into the city.
Doha sits on the coast and has a very hot, dry climate. The best time to visit is from December to March when the weather is warm and comfortable during the day and cool at night. In March, the city holds the Doha Cultural Festival, which shows local arts and traditions. Try to avoid traveling between May and September. During these summer months, the heat is extreme and there is almost no rain.
You have many choices for getting around the city. You can take the Mowasalat buses, which run from early morning until midnight. These buses are modern and have air conditioning. The front seats are kept open only for women and children. To ride the bus, you must buy a Karwa card for 30 Qatari Riyals. You can buy this card at supermarkets or the main station in Al Ghanim. Taxis are also very easy to find near hotels and shopping centers.
Most people start their visit by walking along the Corniche, a long path right next to the water. In the center of the city, you can visit the Museum of Islamic Art, an impressive building sitting on its own artificial island. For shopping and eating, the Souq Waqif is a must-see. It is a traditional open market where you can buy clothes, spices, and local crafts. If you have extra time, you can also book a Desert Safari or visit the Pearl Island.

International flights depart from Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA), not Mehrabad. Check the airport code and current terminal information before leaving Tehran.
A nonstop flight usually takes about 2 hours 10 minutes. Ticket times are local, and passport control, baggage collection or an onward connection make the full journey longer.
Reach IKA about three hours before departure. International document checks and baggage acceptance close before takeoff, and holiday traffic can make the drive to the airport unpredictable.
Entry rules depend on nationality, residence and current Qatari policy. Check official requirements before booking and make sure the passport used for any authorization matches the ticket exactly.
Not usually for a protected airside connection on one ticket, but rules vary with itinerary, baggage and terminal procedures. If tickets are separate or bags are not through-checked, entry permission may be required.
Use the airline's minimum only for one protected booking. Hamad Airport is large and gates can be far apart; for separate tickets, allow a much longer buffer and confirm baggage and entry arrangements.
Usually when all flights are on one ticket and the airlines have an agreement, but confirm at the IKA counter and check the bag tag destination. Separate tickets may require collection and a new check-in.
Metro, airport taxis and hotel transfers are available. The best option depends on arrival time, baggage and hotel location; save the address offline and check whether the metro is operating when you land.
