The Kingdom of Qatar is a great destination for a holiday or just a brief getaway. Doha isn’t (yet) as famous and overrun by tourists such as Abu Dhabi or Dubai, which makes it even more enjoyable. Before visiting Doha and Qatar for the first time, you should definitely plan your trip ahead. And what better App to use, than browsing Instagram for recommendations? Right before visiting a (new) place, I usually search for local Accounts to follow, to get a first impression of the area or city. Check out my following recommendations about Doha focussed Instagram Accounts, however, I’m still open to any more suggestions (please comment them below)! Recommended Hashtags to use in the caption of your own photos or videos are #VisitQatar #VisitDoha #Qatar #Doha #ILoveQatar #QatarFood #thepearlqatar #thepearlqatarmoments

VisitQatar is the official Instagram Account by Qatar. By either tagging the Account or using the Hashtag #VisitQatar you give them permission to re-share what you captured on their Account with currently 100,000 followers.
