Due to the extreme heat of the summer (May – September), the most popular time to visit Qatar is between the months of November and early-April (winter – early-autumn). You’ll get pleasant conditions during these months, but be prepared to book your hotel room well in advance and pay higher accommodation rates. Additionally, tourist attractions are crowded during this period. Check weather reports in advance, as sandstorms occur occasionally in Qatar throughout the year. While visiting during the summer will give you cheap flights and accommodation rates, get ready for temperatures that exceed 40°C. Such conditions will get even more unpleasant with the sandstorms. If you can handle the heat, pack plenty of sun screen, hats and light clothing, and stay up to date on the weather reports.
