As in many other Muslim countries, Qatar allows the sale and consumption of alcohol in most hotels and few restaurants. However, it is important to note that importing alcohol or consuming it in public streets is strictly prohibited. The same regulations apply to pork.
Please be aware that traffic rules in our host country may differ, and pedestrians might not always have the right of way. Exercise caution when crossing streets and follow designated pedestrian crossings where available. If driving, exercise caution and adapt to the local driving norms.
Qatar is a welcoming, peaceful, and exceptionally safe country. Feel free to explore the surroundings at any time and in any location with utmost confidence in your safety and security. The local environment is conducive to a tranquil experience, and we trust that you will find your time here both enjoyable and secure.
We highly recommend exploring the cultural richness of Qatar during your visit. Consider visiting renowned attractions such as the National Museum and the Museum of Islamic Art. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Souq Waqif and the falcon market, explore the cultural offerings at Katara Cultural Village, or the sustainable modern Msheireb area, and indulge in the exquisite flavors of Arabic cuisine. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the Corniche, Al Bidda Park with the EXPO 2024, Qanat Quartier, Medina Centrale, or Porto Arabia on the man-made Pearl Island for a truly enriching experience. Enjoy the shiny malls in Doha with the Venice channels in Vilaggio, the Fountain in Place Vendome or the luxury Al Hazm mall.
