The Oryx Rotana is indeed a nice hotel, stayed there for a week on business last year. It has a good sauna and pool and the food there is pretty good too, if not a bit pricey. Not sure if the QR STPC includes any meals? The Souq is not that far away and is probably where you'll spend most of your time in Doha, there is a pretty of choice of places to eat there and wandering the various alleys and side streets can kill some time after dinner. The Corniche is quite long but a good walk too. There is a nice park around the Islamic Art Museum too. I have been to Doha a few times but never once went on a dhow, seemed a bit tacky to me and a waste of time as they only really go round the bay like others have said.

I used to use Uber instead of Karwa most of the time, although Karwa is also perfectly fine and very reasonably priced too. In the ME I have only been to Dubai and Doha and much preferred Doha to be honest.
