Forums Other Destination advice Qatar Discovery City Tour on layover – arrive 2 hours early?

  • 52 posts

    Have a 10 hour layover in Doha and Player 2 is keen on the Discovery City Tour, which is bookable via the QR website and is a three hour thing and costs about £25. Should have plenty of time to do it but it says to arrive at the desk 2 hours before the tour time, which sounds excessive. Has anyone done it recently and can advise otherwise? I read an article from 2019 which said even arriving 30 minutes before was excessive for them (it advised 90 minutes back then) but was after a more up to date experience. Will be arriving from London at 5pm in J so I would expect to be out in the concourse in under 30 minutes from landing, and would like to book the first available tour. Thanks!

    I’m interested too. Arriving 5.15pm and leaving 9am the following morning. The tour seems to run every hour so I was intending to walk up and see what they had available. Assuming the tour desk is landside ?

    Also wondering if luggage is checked through to final destination on an overnight layover if anyone knows that?
