Siem Reap holidays

The gateway to the truly incredible temple complex of Angkor Wat and the splendours of Angkor Thom, Siem Reap sees millions of visitors passing through every year. However, while a visit to the Angkor Archaeological Park is an absolute must, pause a while in the city of Siem Reap and you’ll uncover a wealth of attractions and interesting places right on your doorstep.

Siem Reap has a reputation for being chic and sophisticated, with world-class hotels and boutique accommodation, and restaurants that are a revelation for gastro-travellers. You’ll also find high-end, luxury shopping sitting alongside exquisite local handicrafts.

It’s a bustling, busy city that’s full of vibrancy and energy, and a short walk away from the main boulevards and commercial centres will put you back into the heart of Cambodia’s culture and history. The people welcome visitors with open arms, and you’ll be made to feel right at home from the moment you arrive. Book a package holiday to Siem Reap with Qatar Airways Holidays and rediscover the true adventure of travel in this exotic and unique destination.

  • Cambodia is famous for its dancing, and you can see it in all its glory at the Bambu Stage. This cultural centre aims to show the world the very best in Cambodian traditional music and dance, and how it’s being kept alive by new artists in the 21st-century.
  • Visit the Cambodian Cultural village, where you can look inside a traditional ethnic home and explore the history of the country.
  • The Cambodian Circus at Phare Circus Ring Road is a dazzling display of acrobats and gymnasts performing and entertaining the crowds. It’s a great experience if you’re here with the kids.
  • If you’re here at the end of October or the beginning of November (depending on the date of the last full moon) you can see one of the biggest festivals of the year, the Water Festival, where hundreds of brightly-coloured boats travel up the Tonle Sap and Mekong Rivers to race one another. There are also other festivals throughout the year, such as the Annual Street Puppet Festival.
