Discover Qatar has announced the launch of its exclusive air tour, ‘Discover Doha by Air’ for customers looking to explore Qatar from the comforts of a light aircraft.
Each air tour can accommodate eight passengers in an air-conditioned cabin of a Cessna 208 Caravan, a single-engine light turboprop utility aircraft, designed with large windows that are ideal for aerial viewing.
The onboard headphones will allow customers to clearly hear the pilot’s in-flight commentary during their experience.
Discover Qatar Senior Vice President, Steven Reynolds, said: “Guests are invited to embark on an unforgettable journey around Doha’s skies, soaring above remarkable landscapes and cultural treasures, on the Cessna 208 Caravan.
“At Discover Qatar, we are continuously working to curate our offerings to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.”
Each flight duration is 45 minutes, with departures from Doha International Airport Premium Terminal, first flying over Al Thumama Stadium, Aspire Zone and Education City and then towards Lusail Stadium, Al Bayt Stadium and Thakira Mangrove Forest.
The journey will continue with flybys over The Pearl Island, Al Safliya Island, Katara Cultural Village and West Bay.
Before reaching the airport, the aircraft will be flying over the Corniche, National Museum of Qatar, Museum of Islamic Art and Stadium 974 for a grand finish.
With the first tour scheduled for Thursday, 27 June 2024, booking is now available at discoverqatar.qa/air.
Tours are priced at QAR 710 (approx £153) for adults and children over two years of age, and free of charge for children under two years of age.
Seats can be reserved for morning and afternoon tours from Thursday to Monday.
Guests can also conveniently pair their air tour with Discover Qatar return airport transfers to and from Doha International Airport Premium.
