From an ATP tennis competition to European Tour golf and the MotoGP, Qatar has lots in store for adventure-hungry visitors looking for professional sporting activities.
Qatar as a nation places a priority on sports and is one of the few countries to celebrate National Sports Day as a bank holiday, which this year will take place on 8 February. For visitors looking to participate in and watch the action, Qatar Tourism has curated a Sports & Adventure package, in collaboration with 365 Adventures, to give sports enthusiasts a three-day fix of exciting activities.
