Qatar Airways’ destination management company, Discover Qatar, has
launched a new tour of Doha onboard an eight-seater Cessna 208 Caravan, a
turboprop utility aircraft, designed with large windows that are ideal
for aerial viewing.
With a flight duration of 45 minutes, the aircraft takes off from
Doha International Airport Premium Terminal, first flying over Al
Thumama Stadium, Aspire Zone and Education City and then moves towards
Lusail Stadium, Al Bayt Stadium and Thakira Mangrove Forest.
Onboard, headphones will allow customers to clearly hear the pilot’s in-flight commentary during their experience.
The journey will continue with flybys over The Pearl Island, Al Safliya Island, Katara Cultural Village and West Bay.
Before returning to the airport, the aircraft flies over the
Corniche, National Museum of Qatar, Museum of Islamic Art and Stadium
974 for a grand finish.
With the first tour scheduled for 27 June, booking is available at http://discoverqatar.qa/air
and priced at QAR 710 (US$195) for adults and children over two years
of age, and free of charge for children under two years of age.
Seats can be reserved for morning and afternoon tours from Thursday to Monday.
The experience is also available for passengers transiting for six or
more hours at Doha’s Hamad International Airport with a starting price
of QAR 850 (US$233), including private return transfers.
