Traveling to Kish Island during Qatar World Cup 2022

These days, everyone is talking about football and the World Cup. On December 2, 2010, it was announced that Qatar will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup and it will be held from November 21st to December 18th, 2022. After the 2022 tournament was held in South Korea and Japan, this is the first World Cup to be held in the Arab world and the second World Cup to be held entirely in Asia.

Over the years, Qatar has prepared itself well to host this tournament, however some spectators and travelers intend to stay in lower cost hotels and explore some unique attractions near Qatar as well.  Kish Island can be the best choice. 

The beautiful Iranian island of Kish is located in the Persian Gulf with 300 km air distance from Qatar. It was ranked among the world’s 10 most beautiful islands by The New York Times in 2010, and is the fourth most visited vacation destination in Southwest Asia. In fact, about 1.5 million people visit the island annually and it’s one of the safest beaches in the world.

Kish Island, known as the pearl of Persian Gulf, has a warm and humid climate in summers but an enjoyable cool climate between November and March. This resort Island is 91.5 square kilometers and includes tourist attractions, numerous malls, shopping centers and resort hotels. The surface of the island is covered with coral sands which shine brightly in the sunlight; more, the clear coastal water allows one to view several meters deep into the sea due to the presence of coral reefs near the beach.

Thus, the proximity of Kish Island to Qatar and the reasonable cost of staying in the island, as well as tourist attractions and water sports make it a potential destination for the World Cup spectators
