As if the walk itself wasn’t enough, Doha Corniche connects 2 eye-catching landmarks, the Museum of Islamic Art and the pyramid-shaped Sheraton Grand Doha Resort & Convention Hotel. It’s easy enough to start your walk with a captivating museum visit and end it with a fancy Italian meal at Lucia’s Doha at the Sheraton.

With 10 dining options scattered throughout the property, you and your partner can take your pick of global flavors and experiences.

It also boasts some of the best views in town, thanks to its revolving set-up. 360-degree Doha views await, making it the perfect destination for romantic milestones or proposals.

As you take in the scenery, enjoy some of the best bites off the Three Sixty menu. Opt for the next-level chef specials, like the lobster thermidor or the seared seabass with an herb crumble, before wrapping up with Um Ali, a Middle Eastern bread pudding, for dessert.

Plan a romantic day for 2 at the gorgeous Katara Beach. As you wander along sinking your toes into the mile-long golden shores, you’ll find opportunities to enjoy every watersport imaginable on those crystalline waters.

Of course, if you and your loved one prefer to settle in with a view, take a seat under the thatched umbrellas, admire the Doha skyline, and simply spend a couple of hours relaxing under the Qatari sun.

Venture about 90 minutes south of Doha to visit Khor Al Adaid Beach. While there are quite a few beautiful beaches in Qatar, Khor Al Adaid Beach stands out from the crowd because its appearance is always changing. The wind and the water move around massive sand dunes, making the beach look different every single time you visit. Why not pack up a picnic and enjoy a romantic meal together on the sand?

Beyond the dunes, Khor Al Adaid Beach is also home to loads of wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for ospreys and flamingos, terns and turtles, gazelles and oryx.

Reach new heights together at Sky View at the La Cigale Hotel. Situated on the hotel’s rooftop, this high-end bar offers unbeatable views of the Doha skyline. While the views are best at sunset, the twinkling lights of both the city and the sky after dark and in the sun are incredible as well.

Beyond the sites, Sky View at La Cigale dishes up some of the best bites and sips in Doha. Go all out with the 21-piece sakura sushi bento or opt for something a little more local with the cold Arabic mezze platter. Pair your tapas of choice with tasty cocktails, like the strawberry-mint Frank or the banana-chocolate Sinatra. Perfect for toasting your loved one.
