Good fun to drive, a breeze to park, and incredibly fuel-efficient — it isn't hard to see why minis are such a popular option with visitors to Qatar. Pick one up and you'll be zipping around the busy streets of Doha and Al Wakrah before you know it. Hoping to explore more of the area? These versatile vehicles are great for short trips if you're traveling light.That all said, Qatar is known for its dunes, sandy shores, and caves. Many adventurers hightail it out of the city to take in these glorious vistas. If that sounds good to you, rent an SUV or a full-size car. Even if you don't intend to get off the beaten track, you'll value all that extra space.
