Things to Do  

Sand Dunes

Sand Dunes, Qatar

 7 Reviews  A highlight on a Qatar trip is a desert tour threw the dunes in south of the country. The Qataris are really spezialists in climbing and sliding the dunes with their Jeeps. Just ask in your hotel for a tour, they will arrange it for you. 

Sea side and Beaches

Sea side and Beaches, Qatar

 6 Reviews  Tour guide to Khor Al Udeid" / The Inland Sea via fishing port of Al Wakra. At the southeast tip of Qatar, the sea pierces through the land to dig a long channel of water into the desert island. For this reason the site is called "Khor Al Udeid" or The Inland Sea. Khor when translated from Arabic...

Ponderosa, Qatar

 4 Reviews  My cousin and her husband and sitting and enjoying their dinner. Please note that it is Must for every women to cover herself whenever she is in public places so, in this picture my cousin is covering herself fully in the black dress to follow the strict rules of Qatari Government. 

Nightlife  

Admirals Club - Ritz Carlton

Admirals Club - Ritz Carlton, Qatar

 4 Reviews  I am a regular at Admirals and I thoroughly enjoy every visit! As a newcomer to Doha a year ago, I visited Admirals, and I was pleasantly surprised by the hospitality. At first, I was dubious about going to an Arabian themed bar/club. I was totally blown away by people's kindness and generosity. My... 

Transportation  

Travelling by Air

Travelling by Air, Qatar

 19 Reviews  Qatar Airways brands itself as the best airline in the world. The claim to fame is based on some airline industry ratings. Like most sandbox airlines making business on transit passengers, it is hard to discern the culture and origin of the airlines apart from, of course, the repeated message that... 

Taxis and Car Rentals

Taxis and Car Rentals, Qatar

 11 Reviews  I follow the advise a called Andrew, for a ride to the Airport. The comment said he was reliable. I needed to get to the airport around 6 in the morning. When I talked to Andrew I explained to him what time, and asked him if there would be a problem. He said no, and I asked him 3 times just to make... 

Shopping  

The City Centre Shopping Complex

The City Centre Shopping Complex, Qatar

 14 Reviews  The City Centre is the biggest shopping mall in Qatar. Here you will find almost everything you are looking for. Most things are not really that much cheaper in Qatar, than it is in Europe, so finding a great deal is not that easy in this modern shopping center. I use to just walk around, look at... 

LuLu Super Market

LuLu Super Market, Qatar

 5 Reviews  My cousin told me that this Wood is very special (like Sandal) and Qatari People always burn it in their houses to make their house full of lovely smell. I think this is something very much local. Must buy it.  

Local Customs  

Qatari Dress

Qatari Dress, Qatar

 4 Reviews  In Qatar you will probably see some expat residents wearing anything from shorts to spagetti-strap tops. While most likely no Qatari will ever tell you that you shouldn't be wearing this, that does not mean that they don't take offense to it. Consider what the Qataris themselves wear - both men... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Driving and Traffic

Driving and Traffic, Qatar

 6 Reviews  While cruising the highway (from Ras Laffan to Doha), we normally drive at 120 kph since this is the maximum speed limit allowed in the highway. But you will always be surprised that there will be an overspeeding vehicles that will overtake you (maybe cruising at 150kph or more). Just be careful and... 

Sports & Outdoors  

Sand Sports

Sand Sports, Qatar

 1 Review  I saw these dessert bikers when i visited the Sealine Beach Resort. So, if u love to do the same as well. Then Qatar could be an ideal place to go. The equipment can borrowed from Sealine Beach Resort. 

Favorites  

Boring Country

Boring Country, Qatar

 2 Reviews  I don't think there is much you should do here other than pick another country which is more fun to visit. I don't think I have many. Just some of the people I met while I was here and the warm water at the beach.
