My husband and I will be travelling to the UK next year and are currently looking at airfares for June/July. Has anyone ever taken a stopover in Qatar. Their fares seem very reasonable and we are interested in breaking our journey for at least one night. Look forward to any tips, hints or suggestions.

You've probably been and come back to Uk by now. However, we had a stopover in Qatar. It was the beginning of August 2011. Ramadan at the time. It was so hot and humid outside, like 45 degrees. I stayed in my airconditioned room whilst my husband was in the pool and sea. As soon as I went outside my glasses fogged up from the humidity. One evening we went to the Souks and a huge shopping centre and the only other sightseeing was on the way to our hotel from the airport and back in the dark. Lots of construction was going on and everything seemed to be the colour of sand. Well, it is the desert, I suppose!
