Honoring Doha’s history, Pearl Monument points to the city’s seafaring traditions. Located on Pearl Island, this monument showcases an open oyster with a massive pearl. Fun fact: Pearl diving was once a popular activity and profession in Doha. © Vatikaki | Dreamstime.com
Souq Waqif is a marketplace full of vendors selling spices, traditional garments, souvenirs and crafts. But the marketplace is also home to restaurants, shisha lounges and festivals.

While the history of carpets is more extensive in countries like Iran and Türkiye, Qatar has developed its own culture of collecting, displaying and selling these intricate rugs. See them in Museum of Islamic Art, or purchase one for your home at any number of marketplaces. © Mohamed Abdelrazek | Dreamstime.com

Apr 10, 2025Study Shows More Millennials Are Cruising
A new study from Cruisebound shows more millennials are cruising, as the average age of cruisers trends downward. The study discovered the largest portion of cruisers are ages 25 to 44, making up 45 percent of all cruise bookers. Seniors, aged 55 and up, currently only account for 26 percent of cruise bookers. The platform theorizes this trend in younger cruisers is brought about by cruise lines’ increasing offering of family-friendly experiences and shorter cruises that can be enjoyed over a long weekend.
