All you need to know about Qatar: tips from an expat
Aug 5, 2022 • 6 min read
Get the most out of your trip to Qatar with these tips from an expat who lives there © Sven Hansche / Shutterstock
I’m a year into my second stretch of calling Doha home. So I’ve learned a thing or two about living in the desert state of Qatar .
When I first lived here 20 years ago, nobody had even heard of this remarkable little country. Today, cruise ships hug the shoreline, and visitors flock here from around the globe. Yet some travelers arrive unprepared.
Knowing some background information before your visit will help you make the most of your trip to this country on the Arabian Peninsula . From coping with the heat and taking the super-modern metro to seeing amazing art and getting to know the Qataris, here are my top tips that will help you get the most out of your visit to Qatar.
Timing your visit to Qatar is crucial
Qatar’s “season” runs from October to May. These months are the best time to visit , when most events and exhibitions take place and when the temperatures are pleasant enough to walk around outside.
Qatar is a desert country, and it gets hot. Like, really hot. Summer temperatures easily reach 50ºC (122ºF) – in the shade. While you can expect everything from your rental car to the malls and even some bus stops to be air conditioned, you might still get uncomfortable bouncing between them.
Decide to travel – or not – during Ramadan
The ninth month of the lunar Islamic calendar, the holy month of Ramadan is when Muslims fast between sunrise and sunset. During Ramadan, it is frowned upon to eat, drink, smoke or even chew gum in public during daylight hours. While Qataris are tolerant of non-Muslim visitors, almost all restaurants are closed during the day (hotels offer the few exceptions). Visiting Qatar during Ramadan means your travel plans have to be more flexible, but you’ll get the chance to experience festivities such as the daily sunset cannon being set off, the pretty lantern decorations around town and the nightly iftar, the breaking of the fast after sunset that’s a joyous event in private homes and restaurants.
Take care to dress appropriately
Qatar is a Muslim country, and while Qataris are tolerant – especially of visitors – it’s a sign of respect to dress modestly. It’s not a problem to wear a bikini at hotel beaches and pools, but it’s respectful for men and women to cover their shoulders and wear clothes that reach to the knee when walking around elsewhere, especially in areas where you will encounter many locals, such as in Souq Waqif .
Hop on the Doha Metro
While much of Doha’s center around Souq Waqif and Msheireb is walkable in the cooler months, the easiest and most comfortable way to get around is on the Doha Metro . This modern, clean and expansive system takes you to all the busy hubs within Doha and its surroundings, including the airport and the towns of Al Wakrah and Lusail.
Understand the local etiquette
From avoiding eating with your left hand to coffee taken with cardamom and the various styles of traditional dress, Arab culture can be a new experience for those from outside the Muslim world. To learn about etiquette and practices directly from Qataris, visit Embrace Doha for experiences that will teach you about the cultural ins and outs here.
Don’t let preconceptions scare you away
Even before they visit, many travelers have an opinion about Qatar – but it’s essential to arrive with an open mind and experience it for yourself. While rules, customs and laws might differ from where you live, Qatar has been changing a lot in recent years. When I returned to live in Qatar again after a 15-year absence, I barely recognized the place. A rise in international visitors has spurred the country to continue to work toward more changes.
Solo female traveler visiting Qatar? No worries
Many consider Qatar the safest country in the world – and as a woman living here, I have never felt threatened. (Of course, it takes only one bad experience to change your view on that, but the same holds for every country in the world.) In Qatar, I usually forget to lock my front door and my car, and even leave my handbag in my shopping cart. You should use common sense as you would anywhere – and expect to feel safe and welcome.
Try the favorite local breakfast
Since Qatar is one of the world’s richest countries, celebrity-chef restaurants abound throughout the capital. Yet travelers visiting Qatar on a budget can still find delicious low-cost meals, such as the local favorite breakfast of karak and chapati. A tea made with condensed milk, cardamon, ginger, saffron and sugar, karak is spicy as well as sweet, while chapati is a flatbread served usually with honey or cheese (or both!). You can try these two staples in most simple-looking cafeterias, at food stalls in parks or in Katara village. You’ll know where to find them by the hungry locals queuing up to order.
Learn more about the importance of the beloved national bird
The falcon is Qatar’s national bird, and they are so revered that they are allowed on flights and even get their own seat. Doha has a falcon hospital as well as a falcon market ; on your visit, stop at Souq Waqif to have a closer look at these gorgeous birds. While you’re there, don’t miss the camels and thoroughbred Arabian horses that are stabled right in the city center.
Qatar is an art hub of the Middle East
Qatar is more than luxury shopping and such prestigious sports events as the 2022 FIFA World Cup: it’s quickly becoming a heavyweight on the Middle Eastern art scene, too. In Hamad International Airport alone, you can see more than a dozen installations by such internationally famous artists as KAWS, Urs Fischer and Jean-Michel Othoneil. Head into the desert at Zekreet to see the stunning East–West / West–East by Richard Serra, or visit the enormous Miraculous Journey by Damien Hirst. Doha’s Museum of Islamic Art is world-class, while pockets of street art complement the capital’s high-culture offerings.
Relax in a park
Most of Qatar’s landscapes are beige and sandy – so take a break from the desert hues at a green park in Doha. My favorite is MIA Park behind the Museum of Islamic Art, which bends around a bay and is full of small food trucks that sell karak , chapati and other goodies. MIA Park not only has fabulous mature trees and grass perfect for picnicking, but also offers superb views across the skyline, with picturesque wooden dhows (traditional boats) moored nearby.
Don’t miss out on the desert
It is easy to keep busy in Doha, yet you can’t leave Qatar without experiencing the desert . As you off-road over sand dunes in a 4WD vehicle to, watch flamingos, camp under the clear skies of the “inland sea” of Khor Al Adaid and slide down the horseshoe-shaped Singing Dunes, you’ll discover how the desert lies at the literal heart of Qatar – and the figurative one of its people.
Search out Qatar’s history
Bedouin have long lived around the Arabian deserts, but the culture’s nomadic lifestyle means that most places in this region don’t have any ancient structures. Yet Qatar has few historic surprises, such as the petroglyphs at Al Jassasiya and the Unesco-listed Al Zubarah Fort , both well worth a visit.
Plan where to have a drink
It’s possible to stave off the heat with a cool beer in Qatar – but you’ll need to plan ahead. You cannot import alcohol into Qatar from duty-free shops or buy anything but non-alcoholic beer from the grocery store, nor are you allowed to drink alcohol in public places. Alcohol is available in Qatar only on licensed premises, such as larger hotels and hotel restaurants. Most hotels have superb bars, comfortable beer gardens or outdoor restaurants where you can sit back with a glass or two.

Learn about the U.S. relationship to countries around the world.
Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements
Tourist visas: When traveling on a U.S. tourist passport, travelers may obtain a free visa upon arrival, if they have six-months validity in their passport and a return or onward ticket. The visa is valid for 30 days from the date of issuance and entitles the holder to spend up to 30 days in Qatar, or multiple entries during the 30-day validity. It may be extended for a further 30 days. See the Government of Qatar’s website for visa information .
Former Residency Permit Holders: Former resident permit holders seeking to return to Qatar should carry a “no objection letter” issued by their former sponsor.
For further information on residence permits, see the Qatari government or U.S. Embassy website .
Exit Permits:
- Exit permits are no longer required for U.S. citizens working in Qatar, with the exception of employees deemed “essential” by their employers, who must still be granted an exit permit.
- If you owe money, you will be barred from exiting Qatar. Qatari banks place holds on accounts to ensure all debts are paid before you leave.
- U.S. citizens with family residence visas do not need an exit permit. However, a family member who sponsors their dependents (usually the person employed in Qatar) can elect to receive instant notification if dependents attempt to depart the country.
Qatar does not recognize dual nationality. If you hold Qatari citizenship, Qatari law requires that you enter and exit on your Qatari passport. Qatari authorities may confiscate your U.S. passport if you hold Qatari/U.S. dual nationality. Should this happen, contact the U.S. Embassy. The seizure does not constitute loss of U.S. citizenship.
Military Personnel should consult the Department of Defense Foreign Clearance Guide before traveling, since different entry/exit requirements may apply. For further information, call the Host Nation Coordination Cell of the 379 th Air Expeditionary Wing at 011-974-5551-0815.
Some restrictions exist for foreign residents of Qatar who test positive for certain communicable diseases, including HIV/AIDs. Medical exams are required for individuals seeking residency in Qatar, but not for transit passengers or short-term visitors. Qatari authorities will not bar HIV-positive temporary visitors from entry to Qatar based on their health status. However, Qatar denies residency and employment to HIV or tuberculosis-positive applicants (among other communicable diseases). Short-term visitors to Qatar with medications on their person are advised to carry a copy of their prescriptions. Please verify this information with the Embassy of Qatar before you travel.
Customs regulations prohibit the import of alcohol over the duty-free cap, narcotics, pork products, weapons or weapons-related articles (hand cuffs, laser pointers, etc.), drones, professional photography equipment to include telescopic lenses, as well as pornographic or sexually-related materials.
See Qatar’s website for specific information regarding customs requirements.
Find information on dual nationality , prevention of international child abduction and customs regulations on our websites.
Safety and Security
Terrorism: Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to target crowds more effectively target crowds. Frequently, their aim is unprotected or vulnerable targets, such as:
- High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
- Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
- Places of worship
- Schools
- Parks
- Shopping malls and markets
- Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights)
For more information, see our Terrorism page.
Exercise normal precautions in Qatar. See our Travel Advisory for more information. Safety Precautions:
- Practice personal security measures at all times.
- Keep a low profile.
- Be aware of your surroundings and local events.
- Stay alert in locations frequented by Westerners.
- Monitor local media broadcasts and consular messages.
- Vary travel routes and times when possible.
- Be extra vigilant when frequenting banks or ATMs.
Areas to Avoid:
- Large crowds and demonstrations in case of unrest
- Labor or work camps located outside of cities and major industrial areas. These areas are highly congested with limited physical and hygiene standards.

International Financial Scams: See the Department of State and the FBI webpages for information on scams.
Victims of Crime : Report crimes to the local police at 999 and contact the U.S. Embassy at + (974) 4496-6000. Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime.
Victims of Sexual Assault: Sexual relations outside of marriage are illegal in Qatar and subject to criminal prosecution. Instances can result in arrest, fines, imprisonment, and deportation. If a U.S. citizen is a victim of sexual assault in Qatar, we strongly encourage you to contact the U.S. Embassy immediately, prior to contacting the local authorities.
Domestic Violence: U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence are strongly urged to contact the Embassy immediately at + (974) 4496-6000 for assistance. Victims may also seek medical care through Hamad Hospital emergency room at 16060 or +(974) 4439-5777 if you are calling from overseas.

Information on local resources and assistance can be found on the Protection and Social Rehabilitation Centre website and through their hotline: 6693-3999, 6693-3108, or 6693-3919.
Tourism : The tourism industry is unevenly regulated, and safety inspections for equipment and facilities do not commonly occur. Hazardous areas/activities are not always identified with appropriate signage, and staff may not be trained or certified either by the host government or by recognized authorities in the field. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is typically available only in/near major cities. First responders are generally unable to access areas outside of major cities and to provide urgent medical treatment. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance .
Local Laws & Special Circumstances
Exit bans prevent those faced with legal proceedings from leaving Qatar until their case is abandoned or resolved. This can take months or years. The Government of Qatar does not offer any social support for individuals under exit bans.
Reasons for exit bans can include:
- Labor or financial disputes
- Personal debt (including bounced checks, credit card debt, and bank loans)
- Outstanding contracts or leases
- Traffic fines
- Pending legal matters, including cases related to gestures or behavior reported by Qataris that are viewed as “offensive.”
U.S. citizens have been subjected to exit bans and/or placed in prison pending payment of debts.
Always carry a copy of your passport for proof of identity, or authorities may detain you for questioning.
Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be arrested, deported, or imprisoned. Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities, prior to practicing or operating a business.
Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the U.S., regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on crimes against minors abroad and the Department of Justice website.
Criminal penalties for certain offenses are much harsher than those in the U.S.:
- Incidents involving obscene language, gestures, or insulting comments often result in arrest, imprisonment, and/or fines.
- Alcohol-Related Offenses, including public intoxication, can result in severe penalties such as arrest, heavy fines, imprisonment, and/or deportation. Qatar maintains a zero-tolerance policy against drinking and driving.
- Use of Illegal Drugs can result in long jail sentences and steep fines.
Arrest Notification: Qatari authorities do not routinely notify the U.S. Embassy of a U.S. citizen’s arrest. If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. If you are not allowed to do so, ask a friend or family member to contact the U.S. Embassy. See our webpage for further information.
For more serious crimes, Qatari authorities may not allow U.S. Embassy officials to visit until the initial interrogation is completed.
Qatari police sometimes arrest U.S. citizens without providing access to legal counsel. You could be arrested for being a:
- Potential witness to a crime (including traffic accidents involving injuries; slander, traffic arguments, etc.)
- Relative of a suspect
- Criminal Suspect
If arrested—regardless of the charge—you may spend 1-2 nights in jail before a hearing takes place. Once arrested, only the Qatari Public Prosecution and Courts have the authority to grant a release.
See our webpage for further information.
Qatari law favors employers over employees. In the event of a contract or employment dispute, Qatari authorities refer to the Arabic language of a contract. Employees have limited recourse if their employer terminates a contract early. If a sponsor files a complaint against an employee who departed Qatar, the employee may be barred from returning to Qatar, even on a tourist or airport visa. Many terminated U.S. citizens have been barred from departing Qatar because of pre-existing debt.
Despite recent legal changes, transferring employment prior to the end of a contract often requires the permission of the previous employer and is subject to approval by the Ministry of the Interior. Additional mechanisms for transferring employers exist through the Ministry of Interior in cases such as bankruptcy, abuse, or repeated failure to pay an employee on time.
Drug Use: Most drugs that are illegal in the United States are also illegal in Qatar, including marijuana/THC, CBD products, and vape products. The potential consequences for use or possession may be harsh.
Clothing : Many public areas in Qatar have dress codes that require both men and women cover shoulders, chests, stomachs, and knees, and that tight leggings be covered by a long shirt or dress. Attire standards can vary between neighborhoods and facilities. Faith-Based Travelers: Religion is a very sensitive issue in Qatar; treat any discussions on religion with care and caution. The law provides for a prison sentence of up to seven years for defaming, desecrating, or committing blasphemy against Islam, Christianity, or Judaism. Public worship by non-Islamic faiths and atheism are illegal and subject to prosecution.
Proselytizing is against the law. Attempts to covert a member of another religion or even “share your faith” can be considered “proselytizing.” Penalties cancan include deportation or imprisonment.
While you may import religious material for personal use, bringing religious materials into the country for proselytizing purposes is prohibited.
Charitable activities, both religious and non-religious, must be approved in advance by the Ministry of Social Affairs.
See our following webpages for details:
- Faith-Based Travel Information
- International Religious Freedom Report – see country reports
- Human Rights Report – see country reports
- Hajj Fact Sheet for Travelers
- Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad
LGBTQI+ Travelers: Same-sex sexual relations between men are illegal, even if consensual. Penalties include lashing, lengthy prison sentences and/or deportation.
There is no law criminalizing same-sex sexual relations between women, though cultural norms are conservative.
The Qatari government does not accept passports with the “X” gender marker. This also applies for travel into Qatar.
Businesses are prohibited from selling and individuals are prohibited from distributing rainbow colored merchandise.
See our LGBTI Travel Information page and section 6 of our Human Rights report for further details.
Travelers with Disabilities: The law in Qatar prohibits discrimination against persons with physical, sensory, intellectual, or mental disabilities, the law is not enforced. Social acceptance of persons with disabilities in public is not as prevalent as in the in the United States. Expect accessibility to be limited in public transportation, lodging, communication/information, and general infrastructure.
Students : See our Students Abroad page and FBI travel tips .
Women Travelers: Unaccompanied expatriate women may be verbally and/or physically harassed. In deference to Islamic culture, avoid wearing sleeveless shirts, halter-tops, or shorts. Only wear athletic clothing in public when engaged in sports activities.
See our travel tips for Women Travelers .
Journalists : Journalists, including independent content creators and vloggers, need specific visas and permissions to use photography and videography equipment, or to conduct interviews or reporting within Qatar. There is no legal guarantee of press freedom or freedom of expression in Qatar.
Photography : Photographing local people in Qatar, particularly women, is illegal without permission.
COVID-19 Testing: COVID-19 tests are available from many local medical providers and hospitals. Testing is paid for by the individual or, in some instances, their insurance plan or employer. Private hospitals charge QR 50 - 160 test. Test results are usually provided by email, but some clinics require you to pick up the travel certificate in person. Please refer to the Ministry of Public Health’s webpage for additional information.
COVID-19 Vaccines: The COVID-19 vaccine is available for U.S. citizens to receive in Qatar. Please refer to the Ministry of Public Health’s webpage for additional information.
Visit the FDA's website to learn more about FDA-approved vaccines in the United States.
Modern medical facilities and Western-style pharmacies are available. Doctors and hospitals expect immediate cash payment for health services.
For information on the Qatari national healthcare system, see the Qatar Ministry of Health website .
For emergency services in Qatar, dial 999.
Ambulance services are widely available.
We do not pay medical bills. Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas. Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.
Medical Insurance: Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See our webpage for more information on insurance coverage. Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for more information on the type of insurance you should consider before you travel overseas.
We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation.
Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor’s prescription. Some prescription medications from the United States are unavailable or restricted in Qatar, for example, stimulants, strong pain medications, and some medications used by HIV+ patients. Check with the Qatari customs authority on proper travel procedures and the Ministry of Public Health to ensure the medication is legal in Qatar. Discuss a health care plan with your doctor before you travel.
Contraceptives, Pregnancy, and Prenatal Care: Sexual intercourse outside of marriage is illegal in Qatar. As such, pregnant women must present a marriage certificate to receive prenatal care at medical facilities in Qatar. Unmarried pregnant women should consult the U.S. Embassy prior to pursuing prenatal care in Qatar. Contraceptives are available over the counter with no prescription required. Emergency contraceptives are not available. We advise all travelers to plan accordingly.
Vaccinations : Be up-to-date on all vaccinations recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Further Health Information:
- World Health Organization
- U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Air Quality: Air quality is poor in Qatar, with frequent dust and particle pollution. Members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects. Visit AirNow Department of State for information on air quality at U.S. Embassies and Consulates.
The U.S. Embassy maintains a list of doctors and hospitals . We do not endorse or recommend any specific medical provider or clinic.
Travel and Transportation
Road Conditions and Safety: For current traffic regulations, see the Ministry of Interior’s Traffic Police website.
Driving: The legal minimum driving age is 18. Holders of a U.S. issued driver’s license can drive in Qatar for two weeks, but most car rental agencies require an international driver’s license. Three-month Temporary Licenses are available. International Driving Licenses are valid in Qatar for six months from the date of arrival. Resident expatriates should apply for a full Qatari license. If you are caught operating a vehicle without a valid license, penalties can be severe. For more information, see the Qatari Traffic Services website .
Traffic accidents are one of the leading causes of death in Qatar. The extensive use of roundabouts, numerous road construction projects, and high-speed driving can be challenging. In rural areas, poor lighting, wandering camels, and roads without shoulders create hazards. If you are in an accident without a license, any insurance may be held invalid, and you could be left with extensive bills and legal charges.
Avoid arguments over traffic incidents . Qatari citizens who feel insulted can file a police complaint that can result in your arrest and overnight detention. Drivers are liable for persons injured in a traffic accident. Local police have held U.S. citizens overnight while ascertaining the extent of injuries.
Traffic Fines: Please be aware that traffic offenses are easily captured via well-placed cameras and the fines can be expensive. Unpaid traffic fines can result in an exit ban until reconciled.
Public Transportation: Regulated and registered taxi services (Uber, Karwa, Fox Transportation, and Careem) are widely available and generally safe to use. The Embassy recommends you avoid use unlicensed taxi operators or drivers who approach you and attempt to solicit business. Do not allow the driver to pick up additional passengers along the way. To avoid cultural misunderstandings, females traveling alone should always sit in the back (never the front) seat.
Qatar Rail : The Doha Metro is safe, modern, and inexpensive.
Mowasalat Public Bus : Laborers and construction workers predominantly use this mode of public transportation. The front seats in the buses are generally reserved for women and children. The U.S. Embassy recommends the use of regulated taxi services rather than public buses.
See our Road Safety page for more information.
Aviation Safety Oversight: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the government of Qatar’s Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Qatar’s air carrier operations. Further information may be found on the FAA’s safety assessment page .
Maritime Travel: Mariners planning travel to Qatar should also check for U.S. maritime advisories and alerts . Information may also be posted to the U.S. Coast Guard homeport website , and the NGA broadcast warnings .
