Should you wish to clear immigration you will need to pay 100 Qatari Riyals for the visa (valid 30 days).
I know that if you have around 6 hours, then they will pay for a tour of the city as well as the visa fee. You need to go to the transfer desk upon arrival at HIA and enquire there.
I flew into DOH last week, I had a 7 hour transit and got the tour bus and guide to myself (long story... was travelling QR First & I kicked up a fuss after they said they had not started the service at the new airport, they called the guide out just for me, whilst I waited in the arrivals lounge) Had the bus and guide to myself. I visited the Museum of Islamic Art and then went to the souks before heading back to the airport.
I've booked a business class ticket for my trip using AA miles & will be staying in DOH for 24 hrs. Can you please tell me if my fare class qualifies for Free Visa & a city tour?
