Qatar is becoming increasingly popular as a tourist destination given its abundant cultural offerings, art & heritage sites, sports and entertainment events, and so much more to explore!
If you have begun planning a trip to Qatar, what to pack surely is on your mind!
The ILoveQatar.net (ILQ) team is here with a checklist to make your packing an easy breezy process.
Essentially, Qatar does not impose any specific regulations or dress codes on residents or tourists. However, considering that Qatar is an Islamic country and strongly lives by traditional cultural norms, dressing modestly would be advisable to refrain from being offensive.
If you are a female visitor, you would want to avoid revealing too much skin. Outfits that may be short sleeves or below knee level are acceptable. However, if you are planning to visit any religious sites, please ensure that you have your arms and legs covered in modest, loose clothes, along with a scarf or shawl to cover your head.
In certain locations like beaches and hotel pools, you can wear swimwear or outfits of your preference.
For male visitors, if you are to wear shorts, try to keep them not above your knees. It is important to note that if you are visiting a government office or police station, you will need to wear full-length trousers.
If you are visiting Qatar during the summer, you would want to choose lighter and airy fabrics that will not increase your body heat. Do keep in mind that most public spaces are air-conditioned; therefore, you might want to have something to layer up with to resist that coolness.
For tourists who come to Qatar during winter, it can get chilly and breezy or even rainy; therefore, sweaters and light jackets are good to pack.
RELATED: What's the weather like in Qatar?
There's no denying the sun is strong in Qatar; therefore, carrying sunscreen is highly essential. Lip balms and moisturizers would also be requirements for your toiletries to beat the dryness.
Sunhats, sunglasses and any other sun protective wear could also be added to the accessories when packing for Qatar.
Keep your footwear light and comfortable because you will surely be engaging in a lot of walking when you visit places like malls, heritage sites or even adventure activities.
