Art Basel’s newest fair returns to Doha for its second edition. Art Basel Qatar 2027 takes place from 28 to 30 January, with 82 galleries from 37 countries and territories and the theme “Between”, as announced by Qatar Museums. The programme reaches beyond the fair into museums, galleries and public spaces across the country.

The fair

Doha Design District serves as a central hub for talks and panel discussions, with exhibitions and public art across the city. For collectors who know Art Basel in Basel, Miami Beach and Hong Kong, Doha offers a more intimate fair and a different perspective, with strong representation from the region.

The week around it

The National Museum of Qatar, the Museum of Islamic Art and the city’s growing gallery scene make the week as rewarding outside the fair as inside it. Private viewings and collectors’ dinners fill the evenings.

Where to stay

West Bay, Msheireb and The Pearl offer the best bases, from beachfront resorts to quiet city hotels. Rooms close to the fair are committed early. We research the options against your dates; you book directly.

Buying well

Buying at a fair rewards preparation: condition, provenance, shipping and import rules all need checking before you commit. Our sister company Atlas Heritage connects serious buyers and sellers of art, without taking title.
