The Red Line of the Doha Metro serves Hamad International Airport's Terminal 1. Check service hours online for your arrival day and plan any interchange before you commit to a route into town.
Save the hotel address and booking reference before you leave. At the station, use the official metro map to find the right exit and any onward connection. A live map is handy for the final stretch, but a screenshot covers you while the eSIM is still connecting.

Souq Waqif sits on the Gold Line. Work out the route from your hotel, including any line changes, then save the station and a fixed meeting point inside the market.
