its new daily route between Dublin and Doha. We welcome tourists
from Doha and beyond to enjoy Ireland’s traditions and lively
culture. There are many great reasons to take a break in Dublin
which is a wonderful, vibrant and exciting city. Visitors can
explore the city’s exceptional museums, take a cycle around town
on the city bikes, or take a walk on cobbled roads. A stunning
countryside of mountains, lakes and quaint villages are a short
trip away from Dublin for everyone to enjoy.”
