Your Qatar race week.
Four or seven nights.

Totals are per adult with two adults sharing one room. The race ticket is counted once; every hotel night, city meal, circuit meal, admission and return journey has a spending allowance. Rooms and cars need prices for your actual dates. Single occupancy, children, extra beds or additional rooms need a revised total.

Named restaurant visits draw from the city-food allowance. Museum visits draw from admissions; the National Museum automotive preview is included in that museum ticket. Private excursion allowances include the vehicle and hotel return. Airport, city and circuit travel use the separate transport allowance. Actual bookings replace these amounts rather than adding a second charge.

Room budgets

Value week: QAR 600 per room per night; culture week: QAR 1,100; premium week: QAR 3,600; four-night trip: QAR 650. These are editable spending estimates. Hotel breakfast, taxes, fees and cancellation terms depend on the room you book.

City food

Allow QAR 700 / 1,300 / 3,000 / 400 per adult respectively across the whole stay. This includes breakfasts, meals and refreshments away from Lusail; do not assume a hotel breakfast is included. Drinks beyond the allowance need extra spending.

Circuit food

Allow QAR 240 for the value week and four-night trip, or QAR 300 for the culture week, across three days. Champions Club catering is included in that named package and is counted at QAR 0 extra; purchases outside its service are separate.

Transport and excursions

Transport allowances are QAR 550 / 700 / 4,200 / 350 per adult respectively, covering both airport legs, city travel and three circuit returns, including a road fallback. Culture-week desert spending is QAR 600 per adult, based on two adults sharing a QAR 1,200 vehicle allowance; the premium excursion allowance is QAR 900 per adult. The actual dated vehicle quote, pickup and group size decide the price.

Admissions and reserves

Value: QAR 400 admissions plus QAR 350 extras; culture: QAR 350 plus QAR 500; premium: QAR 400 plus QAR 1,000; four nights: QAR 100 plus QAR 250. These reserves cover the chosen visits and optional purchases without treating unknown admission prices as zero.

Affordable hands-on week

Seven nights at QAR 600 per room per night, shared by two adults. Per adult allow QAR 650 city food, QAR 240 circuit food, QAR 550 transport, QAR 650 admissions and QAR 350 extras, plus the QAR 600 three-day Lusail Hill ticket. Estimated total QAR 5,140 per adult; QAR 10,280 for two, flights excluded. The admissions allowance covers one kart session, Quest admission/racing and a reserve for two museum visits.

Coast and cafés week

Seven nights at QAR 1,600 per room per night, shared by two adults. Per adult allow QAR 1,100 city food, QAR 300 circuit food, QAR 900 transport, QAR 700 admissions and QAR 650 extras, plus the QAR 2,000 three-day Main Grandstand ticket. Estimated total QAR 11,250 per adult; QAR 22,500 for two, flights excluded. Admissions include the listed QAR 400 weekday Pearl beach pass and QAR 300 for heritage admission, access changes and optional visits.

These holiday cards price one adult sharing and attending the stated circuit days. For children, use the family guide’s room, age and Friday-pass decisions and its separate whole-party example. If one adult skips the circuit, the companion guide includes independent dated city days and a budget with only one race ticket.

Friday 27 November

Practice 1 16:30–17:30 and Practice 2 20:00–21:00. Arrive earlier for Formula 2 practice at 14:00.

Saturday 28 November

Practice 3 17:30–18:30 and qualifying 21:00–22:00, with the Formula 2 sprint at 19:40. A late finish, shuttle queue and hotel connection make a fixed dinner reservation impractical.

Sunday 29 November

Formula 2 starts at 15:00 and the Grand Prix at 19:00. Allow for a variable race finish. Concerts and public track access have no assumed times or entitlement beyond your purchased ticket. Fly home Monday, with airport time reserved separately.

Departure buffers

Start with 150 minutes hotel-to-circuit travel and queues plus 60 minutes security and the internal approach, and move departure earlier for the first session you want. Allow up to 210 minutes for the return. These editable buffers are not train times, shuttle hours, gate-opening times or guaranteed journey durations.

City closing days

National Museum, 3-2-1 and Jiwan close Tuesday; MIA closes Wednesday; FBQ and Msheireb Museums close Sunday. The templates use open ordinary days, with dated tickets, restaurant reservations and operator availability still required.

Hampton Old Town puts the value and affordable hands-on weeks near National Museum and the Gold Line. Al Najada puts the culture week beside Souq Waqif, with a change at Msheireb for Lusail. Raffles gives the premium week a Lusail suite base and separately booked cars. Holiday Inn Business Park pairs the shorter trip with an Al Doha Al Jadeda station approach. W Doha gives the coast-and-cafés week a West Bay base; The Pearl beach and restaurant still need separate local car journeys.

You can change hotels and meals after saving. Premier Inn Education City is another value choice but adds the Green Line connection; Alwadi or Park Hyatt keeps a city-character stay in Msheireb. Four Seasons gives the premium plan a West Bay waterfront base instead of Lusail. Changing the hotel also changes both airport journeys and the circuit return: use the selected hotel’s own guide.

More places to eat

Use Saasna for Qatari cooking in Msheireb, SMAT for a separate Orient Pearl dinner, or Flat White at The Gate Mall for West Bay coffee or brunch. Include the extra road journey when the meal is outside your hotel district.

A bar evening

Belgian Café is at InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa, not The City. Under-18s are admitted only until 17:00 and QID/passport checks apply. A sports screen does not confirm a particular F1 screening. Arrange the hotel return by licensed taxi after drinks.

Restaurant conditions

Jiwan’s QAR 150 weekday lunch applies on open days and its experience menu is QAR 290. Nobu closes Sunday and has child-sitting and dress requirements. B-Lounge’s actual sitting determines age, dress and minimum-spend terms. No dated meal reservation is created by saving a plan.

Airport and luggage

Arrival visits are optional; remove them for a late flight. On Monday, allow 90 minutes for the hotel connection plus at least three hours at Hamad, or your airline’s longer requirement. Account for checkout, stored bags and station approaches. The Red Line train must be marked Hamad Intl Airport T1, not Al Wakra.

Return fallback

Check the complete last usable Metro connection, including any Gold or Green Line change and final hotel approach. If it does not work, use the event’s authorised pickup for a licensed taxi or booked car. Agree the meeting point, contact and fare before leaving the hotel; a chauffeur grants no special circuit road access.

Travelling together

These are adult travel plans, not a family or accessibility package. Rooms, child tickets, museum eligibility, dune-driving suitability, venue access and the entire transfer chain must suit the people travelling. Swap the desert excursion for a Doha day if its vehicle or eligibility conditions do not suit.
