Doha

Doha (Qatar) has a hot arid desert climate with an annual average of around 28 °C. Daytime highs average 33 °C, while nights cool to about 23 °C. The destination sees roughly 67 mm of rainfall per year and 10.9 hours of sunshine per day on average.

Qatar's capital with I. M. Pei's spectacular Museum of Islamic Art, the traditional Souq Waqif and the futuristic West Bay skyline.

With summer highs up to 41.2 °C in July, the heat is overwhelming for most travellers. Cooler and far more pleasant: January through spring — mild days and crisp starlit nights. Rainfall, at only 67 mm a year, is essentially a non-issue.

Note: with roughly 27 °C between the hottest and coldest month, picking the right time of year matters a lot here.
