Helpfulness
The water that comes out of faucets in Doha is safe to say, wash your face with or brush your teeth with, but I was warned by several people there not to actually drink it. The guy I was working with (who lived there) said that HE drinks it, but only because he's used to it. He recommended drinking only bottled water. My hotel, the Doha Marriott, provided a large bottle of water for me each day for free.

First I saw this in the restroom I thought it was for men's toilet. Luckily before I was about to urinate in it, I asked the Janitor that was near by. Found out that it was for people to wash thier head before they go pray. In Qatar there's a Mosque everywhere. Even in the Mall.

Qatari drives very crazy. There are average of 5,000 accidents each day. And there are lots of round abouts. Traffic can get ugly in the city.
Don't take a picture of anything with out a permission. Especially the women. you can ask the Local to take a pictures with you (male). And do not stare at the women even thier are very gorgeous (if you can see their face) I guess that's why they cover thier face, so no one will look at them in a wrong way if they are married. Must respect thier Culture.

Qatar is one of the most stable nations within all of SouthWest Asia. People ask if it's dangerous, and that's what I tell them. Sure, there have been very isolated incidents of violence against people, but that is rare. I feel safer exploring Doha than I do exploring many of the cities in the US. The people are friendly and open-minded overall. This is usually true in wealthier nations.
In general, it's smart to assess the risk though. If you're not here by choice, and you're not comfortable with your surroundings, it's better that you don't venture out.
My philosophy: A boat is safer in the harbor, but that's not what boats are designed for.

I don't think Europeans will have too much trouble driving here, certainly not the Brits and Italians. There are many roundabouts and blinkers are not used as much or as well as they are in England. Some drivers do not turn their head lights on at night, making for an interesting night time driving experience. Americans, just take a taxi. No offense, but unless you know your stuff, don't try it.
