Enjoying the Nightlife in Qatar
Most of the nightclubs and nightlife in Qatar happen inside the hotels. The party scene in this country is really not as happening as in other places around the world, and you should be mindful of that. There are still glamorous clubs that offer great music and delicious cocktails, but as mentioned, they are part of the hotel building. However, there are some good bars around the tourist areas like Corniche, where you can still party there. Some of the other clubs you can try visiting include Cavalli Club, Noir Lounge, and The Flame.
