As stated in a previous post the only thing better about DOH is the PT. Other than that I would avoid DOH espesically if you have a long layover.

You can easily kill 1 hour shopping and enjoying DXB if you have never been. However, it will take you 5 minutes to see all of DOH and not real places to enjoy a decent meal.
