Doha on a budget

Contrary to popular belief, Doha is a place for all! We know the spots where you can enjoy yourself without denting your wallet! 

Cheap Date

Budget: Free

Can’t afford to take them out? Don’t worry, we’ve been there! A fool proof plan to impress without causing any distress to yourself and your wallet is to get a quick hamper of homemade sandwiches and treats together and head out to Aspire Park for a romantic sunset picnic. No fancy cutlery needed, just a cute blanket and the open air!

Budget: QR10

Head over to Katara Cultural Village for a leisurely stroll and a hot cup of Karak from Chapati & Karak, where a cup of the favourite local drink won’t break the bank at QR5.

Budget: QR20

Souq Waqif is buzzing with all kinds of cool finds making it an awesome place to roam around. Take your date on a tour of the bustling market and then stop for a delicious crepe, starting at QR10 or less, from one of the many ladies in abbayas, making all types of sweet desserts filled with labneh, honey, or nutella.

Budget: QR25

The MIA Park’s paddleboats are a fantastic way to explore the calm waters surrounding the museum. Rent one for QR25 for 30 minutes and enjoy the Doha skyline from the best vantage point in the city.
