Hi,
I've got about six hours in Doha during a layover next month and I was looking at my options. I haven't been there before so I was keen to go out into the city, even for just a bit, but in the visa application, they insist on booking a hotel. Given that I wouldn't even stay in the hotel, I called the embassy, which confirmed the information. $55 for the visa and $95 (the cheapest option) for the hotel.
Do you think it's worth it? Should I just stay at the airport instead? Is there still an option to pay for lounge access?
Cheers!
