Swift trip to Doha? No problem. With a Raffles butler to guide you, this three-day curated journey through taste, culture and entertainment will leave you with memories as lasting as the exquisite flavours you’ve savoured.
DAY ONE
Morning
Breakfast at L’Artisan
It’s your first day in Doha so start with a leisurely breakfast in L’Artisan restaurant, overlooking the sparkling Arabian Gulf. Here you can have your eggs any way you like, including Arabic style or shakshuka, a traditional dish of scrambled or fried eggs in a tomato sauce with mixed capsicum, onion and coriander. Follow, perhaps, with Raffles signature waffles or one of a vast array of tempting treats from the buffet. Or skip breakfast and opt for brunch, a much-loved tradition in Doha.
Afternoon
Cultural immersion
Your itinerary continues with a private tour of the National Museum of Qatar for a deeper understanding of the nation’s evolution. Designed by architect Jean Nouvel to resemble a desert rose, this stunning museum reflects both the rich heritage and the contemporary life of the region, with immersive exhibits showing Qatar’s transformation from its humble beginnings as a pearl fishing nation into a global centre of commerce and culture. Your dedicated butler and expert curator will guide you through the exhibits, providing personalised insights into the art, history and culture of Qatar.
Evening
Dine at Jiwan
On the fourth floor of the National Museum of Qatar is Jiwan restaurant – the perfect way to transition into a celebration of Qatari heritage through the art of fine dining. The restaurant’s name translates as ‘perfect pearl’, which could describe the location of the restaurant with its far-reaching views of the port and the Corniche promenade. Here traditional Middle Eastern dishes are reinvented in a modern style with nicely balanced flavour combinations. Your butler can ensure that the experience is entirely personalised if you wish, with a private chef’s tasting menu as exceptional as the day itself..
DAY TWO
Morning
Mindfulness & yoga
Start the day with a session of deep meditation to quieten the mental chatter, followed by a fluid yoga sequence to release dormant energy. Meet your butler in the Raffles lobby who will guide you to the Katara Towers yoga studio where your 50-minute session at 7.00am will be led by master trainers from the wellness team.
Afternoon
Private shopping
Whether you’re interested in high-end designer fashion, local treasures, or custom jewellery, your butler will guide you through Doha’s luxury shopping districts, including Place Vendôme & Galeries Lafayette. Choose from the world’s top designer collections, or find unique pieces from Qatari artisans.
Evening
Dine-around at Raffles
Begin your evening with an aperitivo at Blue Cigar, immersing yourself in the world of rare literature and expertly curated cocktails, guided by the in-house book sommelier. As you sip on a delicious drink, let the ambience of Blue Cigar transport you to a world of refined taste and timeless stories. The evening continues with a gastronomic experience at Alba, where you’ll indulge in the finest Mediterranean cuisine, artfully presented to delight both the eyes and the palate.
DAY THREE
Morning
Helicopter tour
Take off on a breathtaking aerial excursion by helicopter, offering a bird’s-eye view of Qatar’s landmarks. Your butler will be at your side as a city guide, pointing out magnificent views of Doha’s stunning skyline, the sleek towers of the West Bay business district and the futuristic skyscrapers. Marvel at The Pearl, a luxurious man-made island and masterpiece of design, known for its lavish residential complexes and sparkling marina. Over Katara Cultural Village, you will see the intricate beauty of Katara’s traditional Qatari architecture, mixed with modern cultural venues and stunning beach views.
