In fact, the country anticipates some exciting new hotels, restaurants and exhibitions, as well as sporting events, in 2023. In February, Qatar ExxonMobil Open, one of two ATP tour events held in the Middle East, takes place. Additionally, Qatar Masters 2023 will take place at Doha Golf Club, followed by the 2023 AFC Asian Cup later in 2023.
