Destination Doha

Doha, the capital and largest city in Qatar, is located on a small peninsula extending into the Persian Gulf. Evolving into one of the most dynamic, culturally rich and stylish cities in the Middle East, Doha offers a smorgasbord of attractions and activities for the whole family. 

In recent months, Qatar was further propelled on to the world stage by successfully hosting the 2022 FIFA Football World Cup, with the city of Doha cemented as a city on the sporting world stage. 

Until the mid-19th century, Doha was a small fishing and pearling village, but it has grown rapidly and today Doha welcomes you with its ultra-modern buildings, immense towers and superb museums, but above all its magnificent Corniche and crystal clear waters. 

The Longines Arena at AL SHAQAB is a stunning world-renowned venue that plays host to the electrifying launch pad to the 2023 Longines Global Champions Tour and GCL season in the modern city of Doha, Qatar. 

For the fifth year running this stunning equestrian centre hosts the season curtain-raiser and fans across the globe will be treated to a feast of world class show jumping from the best rider and horse  combinations in the world.

Qatar continues to build on its reputation as a global sports destination, featuring top-level events like the Longines Global Champions Tour and GCL and with this impressive venue hosts superb competition, stabling and hospitality facilities, and chic cafes with fantastic views across the Longines Arena beneath the soaring architecture of ALSHAQAB, a member of Qatar Foundation.
