Embark on an exploration of Doha, the vibrant capital of Qatar, known for its futuristic skyscrapers, rich cultural heritage, and stunning desert landscapes, with personalized and flexible car hire services from Rhino Car Hire. Doha offers a unique blend of modernity and tradition, from its bustling souqs and impressive Islamic art to its luxurious shopping malls and serene Corniche. With Rhino Car Hire, seamlessly transition from exploring urban marvels to discovering the vast dunes and historical sites outside the city. Although Doha is officially the capital of the Country of Qatar, they are really both one and the same as there is little else to the country but the city of Doha and lots of desert. As with most of the modern Middle Eastern cities, Doha is not geared up for walking, except on the Corniche, this is quite deliberate as temperatures are so high during the summer months it is almost impossible to walk anywhere.

Important: You can easily rent a car at Doha Airport on your arrival but in Qatar, if you possess an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your valid foreign driving license, you are allowed to
drive as a tourist or visitor for a maximum of 7 days from your date of arrival. After this period, you'll need to obtain a temporary Qatari driving license or, if you're becoming a resident, start the process to obtain a permanent Qatari driving license.
