Doha, Qatar — Activities
Doha Culture
Cultural performances and venues tend to be thin on the ground in this increasingly bustling modern city. The most interesting for tourists are usually those arranged ad hoc at hotels and by tourist companies. Live music can often be found in the city's sprinkling of 5-star hotels. Hotel concierges can be the best point of contact for more information.
Theater
Qatar National Theater
Opened in 1982, the 490-seat Qatar National Theater regularly hosts concerts and plays organized by the cultural stakeholders of Qatar. The Doha Players are a theater group who sometimes stage performances in the city.
