Key stops include the historical Souq Waqif, the architectural marvel of the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA), the cultural hub of Katara Cultural Village, and the luxurious man-made island, The Pearl-Qatar. The ticket usually includes free access to a one-hour Night Tour, offering stunning views of the illuminated West Bay skyline, making it an excellent value for comprehensive city exploration.
Online booking is highly recommended and often mandatory through the official Doha Bus website or reputable third-party vendors. The ticket voucher must be redeemed for an actual ticket at designated kiosks (e.g., Souq Waqif or Katara Cultural Village) before boarding. Tickets are typically valid for a fixed period (24 or 48 hours) starting from the time of redemption, not purchase.
The standard policy allows for free cancellation with a full refund if canceled up to 24 hours in advance of the tour start date. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the experience begins are typically non-refundable. Refunds are not provided for issues outside the operator's control, such as traffic delays or temporary closure of attractions on the route.

Passengers should wear comfortable, modest clothing respectful of local customs, especially when hopping off at cultural or historical sites.
