We love food and wouldn't mind seeing Doha, but most of the quick night tours I've seen are around $100-140pp. We've seen a number of souks in our life so the novelty of that won't be that great, unless there is something special I am missing. Are we better off just catching a cab and doing a DIY for a few hours then back to the lounge to get cleaned up for our flight? We'll leave our luggage at the lounge so will be traveling light.
will be in the same situation in a few weeks. have a long layover in doha and would love to explore the city for a bit. you mention leaving your carry on bags in the lounge. were lockers readily available? and did folks care you were leaving the airport to explore the city and then returning later on?
