Let’s be honest, Qatar wasn’t on most people’s radar ten years ago. Now it’s one of the most talked about destinations in our community, and for good reason. Qatar has a way of catching people off guard. You think you know what to expect, and then you get there and it’s something else entirely.
If you only have a few hours in Doha, go straight to Souq Waqif. The moment you step into those narrow alleyways, oud smoke drifting through the air, spice merchants, the sound of the bazaar, falcons sitting calmly on their perches, you feel like you’ve been pulled back a few centuries. It’s the kind of place you wander into and lose track of time.
Then look up, and there’s the skyline. That’s Qatar in a nutshell ,ancient and utterly modern, sitting right next to each other without any awkwardness.
Beyond Doha, the country opens up beautifully. World-class family resorts, a genuinely impressive arts scene, and then the desert, the sand dunes at Sealine are spectacular, For families especially, Qatar is hard to beat. It’s one of the safest countries in the world, completely halal, and set up to make travelling with kids easy.
Best time to visit is October through March, when the weather is genuinely perfect.
Sarajevo is sometimes called the Jerusalem of Europe, and the name holds , a mosque, a Catholic cathedral, an Orthodox church and a synagogue all stand within a few minutes’ walk of each other in the old city. The centre of that old city is Baščaršija, the Ottoman bazaar, and the most important building in it is the Gazi Husrev beg Mosque, built in 1531 during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent. It is the largest historical mosque in Bosnia and one of the finest examples of classical Ottoman architecture in the entire Balkans. Halal food is straightforward in Mostar and Sarajevo. Mostar’s Stari Most is one of the most recognisable bridges in Europe, arching over the emerald green waters of the Neretva River. It’s a view that feels almost unreal, and one that stays with you long after you leave. Bosnia remains one of the few places in Europe where a Muslim traveller does not feel like an outsider.
