Traveling through Hamad International Airport (HIA) isn’t just about getting from point A to B; it’s about experiencing one of the world’s most luxurious and well-designed airports. Whether you’re a frequent flyer, a family on vacation, or someone enjoying a long layover, Doha’s airport has transformed dining and relaxation into something special. From five-star lounges to casual cafés, here’s your ultimate guide to where to eat, sip, and unwind beyond the gates.
Al Mourjan Business Lounge – Qatar Airways’ Crown Jewel
Known as one of the most luxurious business class lounges in the world, Al Mourjan feels more like a five-star hotel than an airport space. Expect gourmet buffets, à la carte dining, quiet rooms, a reflection pool, and even work pods if you’re on business. Access is complimentary for Qatar Airways and Oneworld business class passengers, or available with select memberships.
Al Safwa First Lounge – A Museum Meets Luxury
Al Safwa is pure indulgence. Think fine dining, private bedrooms, a spa, and artwork borrowed from Qatar Museums. If you’re flying first class on Qatar Airways, this is your palace in the sky — even the dining feels Michelin-level. Paid access is occasionally available for business class passengers, but it’s exclusive by design.
Oryx Lounge – Comfort Without the Hefty Price Tag
Not flying first or business? No problem. The Oryx Lounge is perfect for economy passengers who want lounge perks like unlimited food, drinks, Wi-Fi, and comfy seating. For around QAR 200–250, you can buy access at the door or online — making long layovers far more enjoyable.
