Doha holds twelve quests across every category the catalogue keeps, led by Food with three β€” though only just, with two in Art behind it. Two of them are tier 1 β€” finds rather than fixtures, and the one tier whose check-in asks for PRO; the other ten are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers nine of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway. A food quest names the dish rather than the restaurant: the pin sits on the room that serves it, but what you are going for is the plate. Art covers the work and the building around it, so a mural on an ordinary street counts alongside the collection with a ticket desk. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point. ### By category Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Doha quests among them. - [History quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/history) β€” one in Doha - [Nature quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/nature) β€” two in Doha - [Art quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/art) β€” two in Doha - [Food quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/food) β€” three in Doha - [Beach quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/beach) β€” one in Doha - [Sport quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/sport) β€” one in Doha - [Party quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/party) β€” two in Doha --- Tier 1 ## The unexpected ones The two quests in Doha the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures β€” the half of a city a guidebook has no room for. - [Qabila Westbay](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJ3f_eICzFRT4RFYWb7WD4cDM) The gardens hide a huge car park below Nature - [Lamb Machboos](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJr4DtWGzDRT4Rq9eA1zcHnK8) A dried lime gives the rice a sharp edge Food --- Nearby ## Cities near Doha Ranked by distance rather than by border, because from here the next useful stop is often the one in the next country. - [Abu Dhabi 11 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/ae/abu-dhabi) - [Dubai 14 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/ae/dubai) - [Baku 16 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/az/baku) - [Yerevan 10 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/am/yerevan) - [Al Giza 15 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/eg/al-giza) - [Antalya 12 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/tr/antalya) --- Questions ## About quests in Doha ### How many photo quests are there in Doha? 12, across all seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (3), Nature (2) and Art (2). Among them: Souq Waqif, Qabila Westbay and The 7. ### What is there to do in Doha beyond the obvious? 2 of the 12 quests in Doha are tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Doha holds two at tier 1, one at tier 2 and nine at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are Qabila Westbay and Lamb Machboos, which fall under Nature and Food. ### Can you do all the Doha quests on one trip? Most of them, with transport. The outermost of the 12 is 11 km from the middle of the Doha list, so the cluster in the middle is an afternoon and the edges are a bus or a taxi each. ### Which Doha quests can you do for free? 10 of the 12 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 12 can be read and travelled to without paying anything β€” the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Doha means two quests: Qabila Westbay and Lamb Machboos. ### How do I prove I visited a place in Doha? Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Doha is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Souq Waqif fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way β€” upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Doha sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from. --- This is the Markdown rendering of https://getmap.travel/quests/city/qa/doha.
