When Is the Best Time To Visit Qatar?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Qatar depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.

Tourist Season in Qatar

To avoid extremely high temperatures, Qatar is best visited in winter and early spring. From November to early April, the days are cooler and thus much more pleasant for visitors, with temperatures around 17°C - 25°C.

Due to the hot and dry weather during the summer months (May to September), this period is better avoided. Temperatures during this time sometimes reach 50°C, and the region can experience sandstorms, which can make our visit even more difficult.

When planning your trip, it is worth noting the dates of religious holidays: Id al-Adha (a moveable holiday), Ramadan (a moveable holiday), as well as national holidays: Independence Day (September 3), Qatar National Day (December 18). Commercial, tourist and administrative facilities may be closed during this time.

Tourist season month by month. Legend

Tourist season - time period with sightseeing-friendly weather (or sunbathing in the case of small island countries) for the average tourist. For countries with a large geographical spread, the most visited places were taken into account and the data were averaged. For selected countries, seasonal holidays were also taken into account, as long as they significantly affect the tourist traffic in this period.

A good time to travel, however, sometimes there can be some weather conditions that make the visit a bit difficult.
