Qatar Airways has announced travel packages and stopover programs in Doha to coincide with the sports and cultural events season running across 2025 and 2026, in a move aimed at making it easier for visitors to reach the major international events hosted by Qatar, as part of the country's preparations to welcome participants from around the world.
A press release published on the Qatar Airways website said that Qatar Airways Holidays, part of the Qatar Airways Group, offers travel arrangements that include accommodation and entry tickets to major events, in addition to short stopover programs in Doha aimed at encouraging visits to the country as part of transit journeys.
Highlights of the upcoming events include the FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025, taking place from November 3 to 27, and the Qatar Airways Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix from November 28 to 30, as well as the FIFA Arab Cup 2025, which kicks off on December 1 and concludes on Qatar National Day on December 18.
In early 2026, Doha will also host Web Summit Qatar from February 1 to 4, along with the Qatar TotalEnergies Open and the Qatar ExxonMobil Open tennis tournaments next February, as part of a series of events extending into the new year.
The statement noted that the company will provide air transport and connectivity services for participants and visitors from more than 170 destinations worldwide, in parallel with preparations to stage these events at a number of modern facilities and venues across the country.
Steven Reynolds, Senior Vice President of Discover Qatar and Qatar Airways Holidays, said the upcoming events help cement the country's position as a destination capable of hosting international events with a high level of organizational efficiency, adding that the company continues to support these events through its logistics services and travel plans for visitors.
These events come within a timeline extending to 2026 that will see Qatar expand its hosting of global sports tournaments and conferences, as it continues to invest in tourism and sports infrastructure, strengthening its position as one of the region's leading hubs for sports, travel and conferences.
