Qatar Airways Holidays Adds Formula 1 Access to Doha Stopover Packages

DOHA, Qatar: Qatar Airways Holidays is expanding its stopover programme with new packages for the Qatar Grand Prix 2026. The offering combines flights, hotel accommodation and three-day Formula 1® race access.

The packages give international travellers a new way to experience the FORMULA 1® QATAR AIRWAYS QATAR GRAND PRIX 2026. Passengers travelling through Hamad International Airport can now turn their Doha stopover into a Grand Prix getaway.

The new packages build on Qatar Airways Holidays’ existing Formula 1® travel products. They also give visitors more opportunities to explore Doha while attending one of the region’s major sporting events.

The new option adds Formula 1 access to Qatar’s established stopover programme. Travellers can therefore combine their journey, accommodation and race experience in one booking.

Qatar Airways Holidays already offers dedicated Formula 1® fan packages. Those packages include flights, hotels and race tickets.

The new stopover option is aimed at a wider group of travellers. It can suit passengers visiting Doha for business or leisure who want to add the race to their itinerary.

Four Stopover Categories Available

Travellers can choose from several Qatar Stopover package categories. These include Standard, Premium, Luxury and Premium Beach options.

The packages retain features offered through Qatar’s stopover programme. These include flexible 24-hour hotel check-in and check-out.

Travellers can also customise their stay with additional experiences. Options include city tours, beach club access and other destination activities across Qatar.

To book the Formula 1® stopover packages, customers must select travel dates between November 27 and 29, 2026. After choosing their flights and preferred hotel, the three-day race ticket will be included in the package.

Doha Experience Beyond the Race

The packages offer more than access to the Formula 1® weekend. Visitors can also explore Doha’s culture, food, luxury hotels and entertainment.

The Qatar Grand Prix will take place at the Lusail International Circuit. The venue has become a major destination for international motorsport fans.

The combination of racing and tourism gives travellers an opportunity to experience Doha during one of its busiest sporting weekends.
