Hamad International Airport (HIA) in Doha is gearing up to welcome football fans from all over Asia for the upcoming AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023, and is offering a host of enhancements to the arrivals experience to make their journey even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n
The zone will feature shops, F&B outlets, foreign exchange services, ATMs, and the opportunity to purchase local sim cards.<\/p>\n
Departing passengers can also embark on a cultural immersion by visiting Orchard, an arresting indoor tropical garden and commercial precinct, or Souq Al Matar, a recently unveiled destination showcasing local Qatari culture and customs.<\/p>\n
HIA is drawing on its experience of hosting the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 to optimize communications with stakeholders and ensure a seamless arrival experience for fans. This includes collaborating with transportation providers to ensure efficient routes to and from the airport and the football stadiums.<\/p>\n
For passengers with a transit time of more than eight hours, Qatar Airways’ destination management company Discover Qatar offers the option to book a Doha city tour, allowing them to experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of the host city.<\/p>\n
With these enhancements, HIA is committed to providing football fans with a memorable and enriching experience as they arrive in Doha for the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023.<\/p>\n
