DOHA, QATAR

CORPORATE MICE TRAVEL & EVENT MANAGEMENT IN DOHA

Doha, the glittering capital of Qatar, has swiftly risen as one of the most compelling business and leisure hubs in the Gulf. Once a quiet fishing and pearl-diving settlement, it is today a cosmopolitan powerhouse of architecture, culture, and innovation. Think of it as Dubai’s more refined cousin — equally opulent but a touch more poised, with art, culture, and Arabian hospitality stitched into its fabric.

Home to world-class conference venues, luxury hotels, and a skyline that merges futuristic skyscrapers with traditional souqs, Doha has established itself as a premier MICE destination. Its unmatched connectivity through Qatar Airways, cutting-edge convention infrastructure, and cultural charm make it perfect for corporate meetings, incentives, and large-scale events.

From the bustling energy of Souq Waqif to the quiet splendour of the Museum of Islamic Art, every corner of Doha tells a story — one that combines old-world grace with modern ambition. Whether you’re hosting a leadership conference, a team-building offsite, or a customer incentive retreat, ICE India ensures your Doha event becomes an unforgettable blend of purpose and pleasure.

GETTING THERE

Doha is one of the most accessible global destinations from India. Qatar Airways operates multiple daily direct flights from Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, and Ahmedabad — with an average flight time of 4–5 hours. Several Indian carriers also fly to Doha (Hamad International Airport – DOH).

WEATHER-WISE

The best months to plan corporate events in Doha are October to April, when daytime temperatures hover between 18°C and 28°C and evenings are comfortably cool. The weather during this period is ideal for outdoor gatherings, dhow cruises, or desert excursions. From May to September, the mercury can soar above 40°C.

VISAS FOR INDIANS

Qatar’s visa policy for Indians is remarkably convenient. Indian passport holders can obtain a visa-on-arrival, valid for 30 days. For corporate groups, ICE India can facilitate the entire process, from document collection to approval tracking, ensuring a seamless entry experience.
