DOHA LAYOVER
Transisting thru Doha on way to CPT in February. Have 9.5 hour layover. Is is possible to leave the airport without visa / cost issues to get a hotel room for 5 or 6 hours ?? Or does exiting the aurport trigger more problems than it is worth ?? Hate 9.5 hours sitting in an airport terminal.

My son went through there often when he was a Marine. He says you should bring along a good book to read and just wait it out in air conditioned comfort. A dayroom at that hotel might be a good idea.

I spent a week in Doha in August. As an American getting through customs was easy with a visa on arrival. They are very strict though and may not issue you one for such a short stay. Their embassy lists the prices and rules online.
Honestly though, if you decide not to get out the airport has a brand new terminal and is first rate. If I had to pick an airport to get stuck for ten hours that would be it. If I remember correctly there actually a (very expensive) hotel within the airport.
