    In my humble opinion, the finest airline country in the world. I have never been as pampered in coach as I have been with Qatar Airways. Everything from the free travel kit to the unlimited drinks was a refreshing change from the smelly carcass that is Delta service. The stewardesses were beaming and their uniforms were clean and well kept. The planes were in pristine condition as well. If you fly into Doha, do yourself a favor and fly Qatar Airways.

    Really and truly the best way to get around Doha is to hire a taxi. These guys are everywhere and fairly cheap. Fellow Americans, I don't reccomend you drive here unless you have lived overseas and know how to drive. Yes, I'm serious. Americans do not know how to drive.

    When driving a car in Doha, just remember that some traffic intersections don't use lights. Round-abouts are intersections that flow in a counter-clockwise fashion. They are usually distinguishable by its circular design and marked by a statue or monument of interest. When entering a round-about intersection, remember that all traffic is counter-clockwise. You may enter on the left or right lane, with slower traffic to the right. All exits are right turns, with slower traffic to the right. Be careful of other drivers and go with the flow. Don't drive too cautiously since most motorists may drive at a faster pace.

    Decoration or protection?
    by bpwillet

    I would be inclinded to write about the driving in Doha as one of the dangers of the city. But once you get used to it, it really isn't that bad. But you must not move your car if you are in an accident and you will have to pay for your ticket from the police (about 30QR). But if you are like this gentleman, you may just cause an accident or at least turn some heads!

    The traffic around and in the downtown area of Doha can be quite nerve racking. Take the mind set that rules of the road do not apply. You will see motorists who missed their turn going the opposite direction against the flow of traffic. Sometimes on the shoulder, sometimes not. Just be always aware of your surroundings and of everyone else. Lanes do not seem to matter much and if it is convenient for a local to pull over they will-no matter where they are in the road. Also heavy trucks will not drive in fog. If they believe it is foggy they will stop where they are and wait.

    Qatar Airways...Never Again

  • I just thought that I should share this with everyone. If possible, don't fly with Qatar Airways. I had to fly Qatar Airways from London to Kuala Lumpur for a friends wedding as this was the cheapest option by about £200. After the experience, I think next time I will opt to pay the extra £200 and get a more expensive flight. Qatar Airways is advertised as a 5star airline. I don't know how these ratings are given out for airlines but I definitely disagree. I am used to flying with Singapore Airlines and I think the Qatar is definitely not in the same class. One example is that when food was served, the passenger in front was reclined. Normally on Singapore Airlines, all passengers are asked to put the seats up during meal time...nevertheless, that wasn't what astounded me. When we asked the flight attendant to request the passenger in front to put his seat up, we were flatly told, 'No, you ask him yourself...sir'. WHAT THE *&^%!?! I rest my case.

    Taxis are relatively cheap in Doha, most likely due to government sponsorship, and the fact that gasoline is so cheap.

    This convenient airport is located nearly right downtown! But it looks like they're filling-in some open water to the east in the shape of a runway..... Doha is the base/hub of Qatar airways, and offers frequent direct flights to many international destinations throughout Asia, Africa and Europe. They have been rated one of the best airlines in the world. The website has a great interactive route map.

  • There is a bus from Saudi to Qatar and provided you are from one of the 33 countries on the Qatar list, you can get a visa at the border - despite claims by a leading guidebook saying otherwise. The cost of the trip from Hofuf to Doha is 80 SAR's

    4x4 "something" is necessary
    to trek the desert
    by bpwillet
    Send Photo to a Friend
    If you are travelling outside of the cities and woudl like to trek across the desert a 4x4 vehicle is absolutely necessary. You can drive it yourself or take a tour from any number of tour agencies in big name hotels or even smaller resorts. Or if you have the time you can always use personal ATV's if they are available. Some places will rent them to you at an hourly rate.
