Doha’s New Oasis – Hamad International Airport

Located near the Arabian Gulf and inaugurated in 2014, the Hamad International Airport is becoming a major airline hub in the region, playing host to more than 360,000 flights and having the capacity to accommodate 30 million passengers annually. Travellers can also find luxury hotels in Doha within easy reach of the airport such as Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara.

Featuring two runaways including one that measures 4,850 metres making it the world’s 8th longest, the Hamad International Airport is an ideal entry point to Qatar. Within the airport one will find both modern facilities as well as entertainment that is geared to keep passengers, especially those on a long transit well occupied. The first airport of its kind to be designed with accommodating the A380 in mind, it is also home to the biggest building in Qatar; a sprawling passenger terminal which spans an impressive 600,000 sq metres.
