 Doha Round-About by jgacis
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. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

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. Leave a Comment

Taxis are relatively cheap in Doha, most likely due to government sponsorship, and the fact that gasoline is so cheap. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

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. Theme: Airplane

Qatar Airways promotes itself as the world’s ‘Only 5 Star Airline’. They must be the only ones to believe that rubbish. My first flight with tem was on a plane that looked like it had been decorated to look like a bad message parlour/brothel. The seats were poorly covered; amenities poor and the staff looked bored or were extremely indifferent. I would not have given it anything but a 2.5 star rating. Free drinks had to be coerced out of the staff who acted like they were the ones paying for them. The TV screen had a couple of channels that could not be stopped or paused like on GOOD AIRLINES. And their prices can be shocking.
Their organisation on the Ground during a transfer to Yemen was scary. The flight to Yemen was, in my experienced opinion, unsafe. The staff could not control a large group of women and seating was thrown into chaos. The crew did not have a good understanding of English and spoke no Arabic. Arguments broke out among passengers because everyone was in the wrong seat and many would not sit down. We were delayed ON THE PLANE by 1 hour because of this. They disregarded many sections of the safety briefing due to time and seeming lack of training. Shocking. Movies? None. Drinks? 1 and that was trouble to get. I have some peanuts thrown at me and the whole flight was like a zoo. Passengers used mobiles actively the whole flight and no staff member did anything about it.
5 Star Airline? No. 5 Ring Circus and total rip-off? Yes.
Qatar Airways. Do not fly them.
Fly Emirates. Wish I had. Leave a Comment

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 Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
