On the way back from Malaysia I stopped in Qatar for three nights to discover what this tiny Middle East country has to offer. My first advice is don't travel to Qatar during the summer months (July-August), because it's extremely hot during these months. It's a desert after all and irrigation systems are a must to keep some small spots green during the hot summer months. Temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius are normal during this time of the year. Luckily there are a lot of air conditioned shopping malls and hotels where tourists, as well as locals, can escape the heat and cool down for a while.
