The overnights in Doha do kind of suck because they don't give you enough time to actually do anything.
On each of our overnight layovers to/from LAX we've stayed at the Souq Waqif boutique Hotels using the stopover program rate. This last turn we joined the group tour put on by the hotel staff. For a free tour, I'd highly recommend it. They brought us in to the camel pens, through the royal horse barn, and to the falcon hospital and market. After that they brought us to one of the "men's rooms" in the Souq. They welcomed the women too and explained the rooms and other points of Qatari culture while we snacked on nuts and dates and enjoyed some tea. It was a great way to burn an hour or two.
