Getting from Doha Airport to City

The cheapest way to reach Doha from Hamad International Airport is by bus. Mowasalat operates several bus lines from the airport to Doha. Depending on your destination, the Route 777 bus or the Route 109 bus may also be good options.

You can also take the Route 747 bus from the airport, which runs every 20 minutes from 04:42 to 23:42 every day and costs €2.47 (QAR 10) for a Limited Card, which is good for two journeys within 24 hours. Route 747 begins and ends at the Al Ghanim Bus Station with a stop at the Hamad International Airport and other stops in the city.

To take a bus from the Hamad International Airport to Doha, you must purchase a Karwa Smartcard. Karwa Smartcards can be purchased from ticket vending machines, which can be found at the Arrivals Hall, the Ground Floor, and the Bus Pavilion.

There are three kinds of smartcards:

A classic card costs €7.42 (QAR 30) and is rechargeable. This is the best option if you plan on taking the bus often during your stay. With the Classic Card, the fare for Route 747 is €0.74 (QAR 3).
A limited card costs €2.47 (QAR 10) and may be used for two journeys within 24 hours.
An unlimited card, which costs €4.94 (QAR 20) and grants an unlimited number of journeys within 24 hours.

If you’re travelling on a budget, taking the bus is a great option. However, the bus is a slower means of transportation as it makes numerous stops between the airport and Doha. Also, if taking the bus, you may have to walk a bit to reach your destination.
