Holidays and vacations from Doha?

Sorcha
By Sorcha

Not living in Doha at the moment, but I wondered if travelling on vacation is expensive from Doha and whether holiday packages are common? I had a quick look on the Doha's Regency Travel and Tours website and the choice of packages shown online is extremely limited. Is this representative, or are there lots of travel agents on the high streets that can arrange regular holiday packages at a reasonable price?

Many thanks, Sarah

hafsabasel and deedee.

hafsabasel, that is a great website - bookmarked - thanks!

deedee, that's great - yes, I do tend to book my own within the UK, or to friends in Europe. I was thinking that perhaps packages may be more economic for families - but not necessarily perhaps!

travel (have some great deals from time to time) but the best is to simply book things yourself. anyone can do it with a computer and some time to look.

'Fraid you have to do your own homework. I've not found a good agent in Doha. I miss the one I had in Muscat!

I visit the local agent near my home. I tell them what I want, when I want to travel, where I want to go.

Most agencies here don't post packages online, you visit you chat, you wait for different options you choose.

There are lots of places here. Relying on internet choices here in Doha (other than the big operations and I wouldn't classify Regency in that category in terms of variety/options) is not a good idea.

.... yes, if we move there (to Doha) I would definitely want to travel - we would have a reasonable income to allow us (my family) to travel a bit. I've always wanted to see a wee bit more of the Far East especially, and the flight times to that region look somewhat better than we would have to endure from the UK, definitely another plus! Sarah

... is that a local travel agent in Doha? Sounds good! Do you have a link or contact details? One of the attractions of living in Doha for me is the chance to travel a bit more :)

.... do you mean, ask a UK company to arrange a holiday to fly out of Doha? Can that be done then? Sarah

I've arranged well priced packages via my local travel agent. Lots can be done on-line as well.

Sarah, it’s much better if you arrange your holiday vacations via UK , it’s really ridicules if you try to fly from here, you cannot get more benefits and packages which you gets from your country!

Sadly there is only one short answer...NO.

And there is no Highstreet either.
