One major benefit of heading to a Middle Eastern destination such as Doha is the beautiful weather that the region experiences all year round.

Doha's coastal location makes it an extremely popular place among sun-seeking tourists and there is one area in particular that attracts a huge number of people.

Palm Tree Island is just off the coast of the city and it is as close to being paradise as you can get and holidaymakers staying in Doha hotels should definitely consider taking a day trip to this stunning little islet.

It is impossibly beautiful and the white sand is accompanied by gorgeous turquoise seas. While it is ideal for those who just want to kick back and relax on the beach, the island also has a raft of activities available too.

There is a quad bike track, camel riding excursions, watersports and fairground rides to keep youngsters thoroughly entertained.

Palm Tree Island is just a five-minute boat ride away from Corniche and a frequent dhow boat service is in operation. Corniche is also very accessible for travellers staying at the Millennium Hotel Doha, as it is less than ten minutes away by car.
