This is one of our favorite airports in the world. Whenever we are traveling from the states heading east we always try to fly Qatar Airways as they simply do it better than anyone else. I am a Diamond Medallion member for Delta and have been for years, but when flying internationally, nothing beats this airline. There’s a reason why they’re typically either ranked number one or two worldwide in service because they seem to be more on time have more comfortable aircraft have better food and a super nice Flight crew to go along with it. Staying for layovers in this airport is outstanding. They have a world renowned shopping mall with both high-end and standard shops. There are hundreds of food options and they’re all open 24 seven. The best part is the Eden airport hotels the only place this occurs in the world. You don’t have to go through security you don’t have to get a visa. You don’t have to pay the US$27 in order to go outside of the airport to stay in the hotel so if you have the option to do a longer layover you have two hotels that are inside security or air side where you can simply walk off your plane. Go right to the hotel get a good nights sleep and then go right to the gate for your connecting flight. Is a great experience. We love this airport and we will definitely be back.

Hamad International Airport blends luxury, comfort, and efficiency in the most impressive way. The design is stunning, the spaces are spotless, and every detail feels premium. Security and immigration are extremely smooth, the staff are professional and friendly, and the signage is very clear.
The shopping and dining options are exceptional, and the airport feels more like a high-end mall than a transit hub. The atmosphere is calm, organized, and stress-free. Whether you’re arriving, departing, or connecting, the experience is always flawless.
A world-class airport that sets the standard globally. Highly recommended.

One of the best airports in have been to! It’s a small city in itself! Planned in a way that travellers on layovers get maximum rest and also good shops around to spend time! I really enjoyed my time in the Orchard which is a garden full of greens within the airport.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hamad International Airport (DOH) – Review
Hamad International Airport in Doha is truly one of the most beautiful and luxurious airports in the world. Every time I travel through DOH, I’m impressed by how modern, clean, and visually stunning this airport is. From the moment you arrive, everything feels organized, high-class, and designed for comfort.
The terminal is extremely spacious with bright lighting, polished floors, and incredible contemporary architecture. The airport features impressive art installations — including massive sculptures, golden geometric pieces, and unique modern designs you don’t see anywhere else. Even just walking through the terminal feels like visiting a museum.
One of the standout features is the luxury displays, including high-end cars showcased in the middle of the airport. It instantly gives DOH a premium, exclusive vibe. The shopping options are top-tier with brands like Givenchy and many upscale stores, plus excellent cafés and restaurants.
The entire airport is very clean, and the staff is always helpful and professional. Navigation is simple with clear signage, and despite being a huge international hub, it never feels chaotic.
Overall, Hamad International Airport delivers 5-star quality in every detail — design, comfort, art, shopping, and atmosphere. It’s easily one of the best airports in the world and a pleasure to transit through on any journey with Qatar Airways.
