I went on holiday to Qatar with my friends and realised that we had chosen May correctly. Even in spring, in the capital of Qatar, Doha, there was intense heat, which subsided a little towards evening. The water temperature was also incredibly high. Swimming was a pleasure. True, it was necessary to use SPF, because at forty-degree temperatures you can easily get sunburnt. Probably, if we had gone in the summer, the weather would have been even hotter. For people who live in a moderate climate, even the May weather here was very hot, and in the summer it would probably have been too much.
Last year in May I was on holiday in Doha. Doha is hot at this time. At the hottest time of the day I had to sit in the hotel with the air conditioning on. But in the morning and towards evening you can sunbathe and swim in the warm sea. Towards night you can walk around the city, admire the sights. The nights are very warm at this time. The flow of tourists is quite large, but there were no problems with the hotel, there is enough space.
I was tired of Türkiye and Egypt, I wanted something exotic. Yes, and it’s not hot there in March, when it’s vacation. The agency suggested Qatar (Doha), about which I knew nothing at all, not even where it was. But I liked the description, and in the end - complete delight! You can talk endlessly about the country itself, but the site is about the weather. So... It was VERY sunny and hot. During the day the average temperature is 30 degrees, +/-. The water is 22-23 degrees. It’s also very warm, but compared to air, it’s refreshing. Rain, it seemed to me, is a very rare occurrence here. There was no sign of it. The evenings are also very warm, but still +20-22. You can wear a sundress.
If you want to go to the sea in April, but don’t know where to go, I can recommend Doha, in Qatar. It's warm and sunny here this month. Rain here in April is very rare. I enjoyed sunbathing and swimming. The sun does not heat too much and does not leave burns. The sea water is warm and comfortable for swimming. Personally, I spent almost my entire vacation on the beach, although there is also something to see in the city.
If you want to go to the sea, and you were given a vacation in March, then fly to Qatar. I was in Doha last year in March and I liked it. It’s warm there during the day and you can calmly swim in the sea. There was no precipitation, just sun all the time. At night the temperature drops sharply, so evening and night walks here are not the best idea. But this is the only minute. Otherwise the place to stay is good. Besides the sea, there is where to go and what to see.
I visited Doha in February 2024 as part of a business trip. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and interesting it was to spend time in this city. The weather was perfect for me: not too hot and not too cold. The average daytime temperature was around 24°C and at night around 19°C. The sky was almost always clear, and it only rained once all month. The wind was moderate and I did not feel any discomfort from the dust or humidity. I enjoyed walking along the Corniche, where there are impressive views of the bay and skyscrapers. I also visited several museums such as the Museum of Islamic Art and the National Museum of Qatar, where you can learn about the rich history and culture of this country.
Doha was a real discovery for us. We spent the Christmas holidays there and did not regret at all that we had chosen this particular direction. The city greeted us with warm weather, without rain. We thought it would be too hot, so we took a lot of summer clothes, but in the evening, and for two days and during the day, it was quite cool, so the tracksuits that we took with us at the last moment turned out to be just in time. The only place where it was relatively hot was the desert. We decided not to miss the opportunity to see the local dunes and bought a jeep excursion from the locals. The place is truly magical and bewitching; in four hours we got so many emotions that it would last for more than one month.
We planned our trip to Dubai in such a way as to spend several days in Doha. Before this, all that was known about Qatar was that the World Cup was being held there and we had certain expectations from this country, but they were not at all justified. First of all, I didn’t like the weather: on the one hand, the sun was shining and it was quite comfortable, but the constant winds and high humidity simply unsettled me. Walking around the city was out of the question, so we got around by taxi. The local population cannot be called friendly; they smile only when they understand that they can get something out of you, for example, sell unnecessary things at astronomical prices ((
