What you'll see and do
Stadium 974
It is a unique facility that can only be visited at a certain time, thanks to our tour. The 450.000 square metre temporary stadium will be dismantled after the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Every visitor to this place actually becomes part of history, which will soon be impossible to repeat.

A visit to the largest stadium in Qatar is a must not only for fans of the sport. Even people who have never been into football are surprised by the scale of this huge structure, which can hold 80,000 people. Moreover, it is Lusail Stadium that will host the final match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
30 minutes here
Al Khor Al Bayt Stadium combines modern architecture with the ancient ideas of the nomadic peoples of Qatar. It is unlikely that any other place in the world can host such a sports facility. It will be the venue for the opening of the 2022 FIFA World Cup and we have the opportunity to visit the stadium well in advance.
30 minutes here
The grand stadium, also known as Al-Rayyan Stadium, with a capacity of 50,000 spectators, is still used for football matches by Qatar's Al-Rayyan Football Club. The stadium was built in 2003, and was named after the Emir of Qatar, Ahmad bin Ali Al Thani, but in 2015 the stadium underwent more than just a renovation. It was demolished and an entirely new sports facility was built in its place.
30 minutes here
Education City Stadium
This stadium is located in the center of a concentration of several university campuses, and it will also be used for the 2022 FIFA World Cup matches. The unique location of Education City Stadium will not only give you an insight into the sporting component of the venue, but will also give you an insight into what it's like to study at Qatar's top universities.
30 minutes here
Khalifa International Stadium
Often also referred to as the National Stadium, Khalifa Stadium is one of the most important sports facilities not only in Doha, but also in the whole of Qatar. The multifunctional complex includes a number of construction projects: Hamad Aquatic Centre, Aspire Academy and Aspire Tower. It opened in 1976 and has a capacity of over 45,000. The National Stadium is undergoing regular renovations, introducing newer and better technology.
30 minutes here
It is probably the most colorful football stadium in Qatar that will host the 2022 World Cup matches. The architects and designers made the most of Arab culture and traditions during the construction of this stadium. At first glance it might look like a veritable museum of painting.
30 minutes here
This is another stadium where the 2022 FIFA World Cup matches will be held. Al Wakrah Al-Janoub Stadium was built in 2019 and its distinctive feature is the retractable roof.

Trip in Zambia with ATR in August 2022
We spent 12 nights in Zambia in August 2022 shared between Kafue National Park and Lower Zambezi National Park. We started our trip in Kafue National Park. We spent 6 nights at Musekese Camp. The five chalets are very confortable and have a beautiful view overlooking the lagoon where elephants, pukus and warthogs come for food. It was our 3d stay at this camp. The walks were personally guided by the owners Phil Jefferey and Tyrone McKeith, with an armed officer. They lasted for about 2 to 3 hours. Usually we did not try to approach big game, the walks were more about the plants, the trees and their use by the local people, the footprints of the animals. The boating on the spectacular Kafue River was a highlight, especially for birding. The game drives were good too for lions, leopards and many antilopes. Our guide, James, was a good spotter and a nice fellow. We went with him to the Musekese Conservation Center where a young researcher gave us a talk about the work and the positive results of the team. The number of cats increased significantly in the area they patrol daily with armed officers. On the way to the Conservation Center we saw many different species of antilopes such as Sable, Hartebeest, Oribi and 2 leopards. It was a good sighting, they were relaxed and we could observe them close. On a game drive, Tyrone found a group of wild dogs which we followed until they desappeared in the bush. Then, a few minutes later, while we were having our sundown, 2 of them approached and stared at us for several minutes. We enjoyed a lot Musekese Camp and its efficient and friendly staff. Also, the meals were very good. Our trip was once more perfectly arranged by Africa Travel Resource who has the best website in the world about Africa. It was our 13th trip with this company since 2007. Jay Hanson is our safari consultant since 2011 and he never failed in suggesting places he knows we would like and organising everything without a fault.

Qatar FIFA Stadium Tour and Desert Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Doha.
How much does Qatar FIFA Stadium Tour and Desert Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $349 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Doha usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Qatar FIFA Stadium Tour and Desert Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Doha is not rushed.
Is Qatar FIFA Stadium Tour and Desert Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Doha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Qatar FIFA Stadium Tour and Desert Adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Qatar FIFA Stadium Tour and Desert Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 9. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Qatar FIFA Stadium Tour and Desert Adventure?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Doha can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Doha and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Qatar FIFA Stadium Tour and Desert Adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Doha within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Doha?
+
On Outty we rank every Doha experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Doha: Desert Safari | Camel ride | Sand-boarding | Quad Biking, Doha:ATV,Quad or Buggy Dune Bashing,CamelRide & Sandboarding, Half Day Desert Safari || Sand Boarding || Camel Ride || Inland Sea Visit ||. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Doha?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Doha?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
