A Spiritual and Cultural Journey in One Modern Destination
Middle Eastern destinations are all the rage. From Dubai to Abu Dhabi, cities in this region are gaining traction worldwide, mainly due to their mastery of combining culture with state-of-the-art technology. Among them is Doha, Qatar’s capital city where heritage and modernity collide in harmony.
Located in the heart of the Persian Gulf, Doha is a center of Islamic heritage. Its rich culture is shaped by centuries of complex history and surrounding communities, including the nomadic Bedouin tribe. Now, as the country continues to welcome modernization, it offers a unique opportunity to study Islamic customs amidst a luxurious contemporary backdrop. The best part of it all - Indonesian passport holders can now visit Qatar easily with the visa-on-arrival facility.
