Qatar Airways has announced a partnership with Tourism Malaysia to promote Malaysia as a tourist destination and provide flight offers to travellers from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
Qatar Airways Holidays recently launched limited-time travel packages for travellers from Qatar to plan unforgettable holidays to Kuala Lumpur with incredible savings and exclusive offers.
Malaysia is an excellent destination for travellers that are seeking adventure, culture, and relaxation. With its stunning natural landscapes, rich history, and vibrant cities, Malaysia is a versatile destination that has something to offer everyone. Allowing more travellers to experience Malaysia, there are currently three daily flights between Doha’s state-of-the-art airport, Hamad International Airport (HIA), to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL).

The crystal-clear waters and soft, white sand, the beaches of Langkawi, Tioman, and the Perhentian Islands are perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports. Meanwhile, the tropical island of Borneo offers some of the world’s best diving and snorkelling opportunities
