InterContinental Doha Residences

The traditional wooden boats or dhows of the Arabian Sea can be seen along Doha Corniche, in the harbours of Al Wakra and Al Khor. The word 'dhow' is derived from the Swahili word 'dau', meaning fishing boat.

The picturesque Doha Corniche is flanked by the calm waters of the bay, their colours changing by the hour, varying from turquoise to emerald to cobalt blue.

The Qatari Riyal is pegged to the United States Dollar - fluctuation is not common, however we recommend checking exchange rates prior to travel.

The importation of Alcohol is strictly not permitted - even in the format of Duty Free purchased in other airports or on in-bound flights.

The pearl trade was once the mainstay of the Qatari economy.
