Arriving in Dubai
Fly to Dubai with Qatar Airways and experience one of the most luxurious, elegant and vibrant cities in the world. In just 50 years Dubai has gone from a small fishing village to the capital of luxury, with the finest hotels, shopping and restaurants.
Dubai also has plenty to see; attractions range from the world’s tallest skyscraper, the 828-metre Burj Khalifa, to the enchanting Bastakiya District, one of the last remaining areas of Old Dubai. Flights to Dubai with Qatar Airways will give you the chance to discover this diverse and fascinating city for yourself.
Tourist attractions
The Dubai Museum lets you catch a glimpse into the historical roots of the city. You can experience the city’s modern-day cultural vibrancy for yourself by exploring the souqs and traditional Arabian buildings in the historic Bur Dubai area.
Where you can visit perfume and spice souqs, another entirely different side of Dubai can be explored in Deira, as well as the bustling Gold Souq, home to some of the city’s finest jewellery. Got a head for heights? If so, Dubai boasts some of the world’s top 100 tallest buildings high as the sky, providing those brave souls, who are willing to ascend to the dizzy heights, with incredible panoramic views of this unique location.

Arriving in Istanbul
The gateway to not one but two continents, Istanbul (or Constantinople as it was originally known) sits astride Europe and Asia on the Bosphorus. It is still an internationally important trading city and port, as well as home to some of the most breath-taking ancient buildings, mosques and churches in the world, thriving souqs and markets, and a rich cultural scene that celebrates music, art and theatre.
Book a flight to Istanbul with Qatar Airways and you’ll quickly see why this metropolis has been a hub of civilisation for thousands of years. This is where various culture mix. From the Roman remains to the dazzling beauty of Saint Sophia, the modern port to the ancient alleys, Istanbul is one of those eclectic locations you never forget and always return to.
Tourist attractions
Most of the main attractions are located in and around Sultanahmet-Old City, which is effectively the Constantinople of old. Around Sultanahmet Square you’ll find the finest of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman-period attractions, including Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, the Sultanahmet Mosque (Blue Mosque), and the Basilica Cistern. Further out from the square you’ll find the Church of St Savior in Chora, which is home to some of the most extraordinarily beautiful frescoes and mosaics. Next to the church are some beautifully preserved Theodosian Walls.
North of the peninsula of the old city is Galata, easily by the landmark Galata Tower. Head down to the waterfront area of Karaköy and you’ll find the Istanbul Modern gallery, home to some of the best exhibitions of contemporary Turkish art.
A rather unusual visitor attraction and one that has gained popularity in recent years are the tulip displays in Sultanahmet Park and Gülhane Park in Sultanahmet. These beautiful flowers originate from Turkey, and are a symbol of the Netherlands, where they are celebrated in a festival in early April at Emirgan Park, and can be seen throughout the city. Finally, a visit to Eyüp will introduce you to the city’s holiest Islamic shrine.
