My Experience:

I was in Qatar by accident during my spring break trip to Georgia. Due to the Corona Virus, I was rerouted to Qatar to fly home. I only had nine hours in Qatar and the majority of it was spent in the hotel and the airport, but I still went out into the city to do a bit of exploring. 

​

I had booked a hotel in Qatar since we had a nine hour layover. Booking the hotel also meant that we could go through border control easily. I do not think they would have let us through if we did not have a hotel reservation. We took an Uber to the hotel, settled in and then went to see the city skyline. Not much was lit up, which was disappointing. I did get to explore a new country so I cannot complain. We went back to the hotel, got two hours of sleep and warm showers, and went to Doha airport to fly back to the States.

​

I would like to go back to Qatar to explore a bit more since I had limited time in this country.
