What's this trip about?

    Experience the awe-inspiring might of Doha and the quiet serenity of the Maldives all in one trip! On this 8-night journey, you'll get to walk the storied streets of Doha, take in the culture of the city, then relax in a remote paradise at a much slower pace. Start with three nights in Qatar and an invigorating tour of the capital. Shop the markets, see the sights, and peruse the museums. Then, hop a flight for the fantastic Maldives, where your only concern will be which swimsuit you'll want to wear that day. Bask in the sun, float in the sea, and truly unwind like never before.
