How to get from Doha Airport to Doha City Centre
For families arriving in Doha, often the best way to get from the airport to the city centre is via taxi or Uber. A taxi will cost you around 50-60 QR and take around 15 to 40 minutes – depending on where your hotel is and the time of day. And Uber will be a similar price.
You can also take public transport with the metro (train) running quite frequently. The buses run regularly too – but less often than the trains. Public transport will cost around 2-3 QR per person, but you will need a travel card for both the metro and the bus.
Travel cards can be purchased at the metro station or near where you catch the bus.
If you plan on using the trains, download the Qatar Rail App to help plan your trips. While for the buses, download the Karwa Journey Planner App.
If you require further information about getting to and from the airport, click here for our detailed guide.
Getting Around Doha
It is possible to walk between many tourist attractions within the city centre. However, to reach West Bay or Pearl Island areas, you will need to rely on transportation.
The good news is Doha has an excellent bus and train network. However, you will need to purchase travel cards to ride public transport. These cards can be purchased at vending machines at the stations.
Doha is also well serviced by taxis and rideshare apps such as Uber and Careem. This is often a convenient way of travelling when dealing with tired children.
