When to go
The best time to visit Qatar runs from
mid-November to mid-March: it is the only time of the year that is not hot.
In general, the weather is mild and sunny from December to February, and warm but not too much in November and March. Some cloudy days are possible, sometimes with rain, especially from December to February.
What to pack
In
winter: bring light clothes for the day, a sweater and a jacket for the evening and for cool days, and a scarf for the wind.
In
summer: bring lightweight clothes, made of natural fabric (cotton or linen), a desert turban, and a sweatshirt and a scarf for air conditioned places. It's better for women to avoid shorts and miniskirts outside of tourist resorts.
When going to the reef, you can bring snorkeling equipment, including water shoes or rubber-soled shoes.
