Best Time to Visit

Experience Qatar's charm during its pleasantly mild transitional seasons.

The ideal times to visit Qatar are during the transitional seasons of fall (October to December) and spring (February to April). During these periods, the weather is pleasantly mild, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F). The scorching summer heat, often exceeding 40°C (104°F), can make outdoor activities uncomfortable, and it's best to avoid the peak summer months from June to August.

Fall brings a gradual decrease in temperature from the summer highs, offering a comfortable atmosphere for exploration. Spring, with its blooming flowers and clear skies, is another opportune time to experience Qatar's outdoor attractions.

Qatar's winter (December to February) is also a popular time to visit, especially for those seeking a milder climate. Daytime temperatures hover around 18°C to 25°C (64°F to 77°F), making it perfect for outdoor adventures and cultural explorations.

If you are a fan of sports, consider planning your visit during the Qatar International Marathon held in January or the Qatar Open Tennis Tournament in February. These events not only showcase the country's sporting enthusiasm but also provide additional entertainment options.

I can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle Labarca

I had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie Williams

We were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormack

The destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years. If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek Travel

We had a wonderful and amazing two weeks in North-West Scotland. Shoutout to Jacqueline at Goway Toronto and the driver/guides with Rabbie's minibus tours (Stefan and Willie). Well-chosen hotels and no worries with dietary requirements; every detail was taken care of. Thank you! Ben Daube

I just returned from escorting 34 people to China with four stops. We had hotels, local guides and extensive daily sightseeing. We had flights and we had high speed rail. There were numerous components that could have gone wrong but did not. I would like to highly recommend local guide Yoyo in Shanghai as well as Kevin in Xian. Two of the best guides I have ever had anywhere in the world. Suzette Castro and her team at the Goway Group Department did an excellent job helping me put this together. I was demanding, they were totally cooperative. It went well. I will be back. Amy Fink, CTC at Blue Ribbon Travel ArrangementsAmy in San Bruno, CA

Had an extremely great holiday in China and hongkong & Thailand! Quite a few $$$(More than what we had planned, but if you want top luxury and experience - never haggle) Ameet our destination specialist was prompt and professional. He gave us the right suggestions and planned our trip meticulously and without interruptions. Goway 24 x7 customer service is incredible and I would definitely book my next trip with Goway!
