Doha is REALLY SAFE. I do not feel fear at all. Ofcourse I have to respect their culture and dress code but I’m assuming if I want be respected I also must respect them. You can walk and go alone at ANY time. Even in the night. Actually here , men wouldn’t even talk to you if you do not approach him. As by the law a man can be in jail is a woman say she felt harassed by him.

I feel very safe in doha. Everything is under video surveillance and there are security guards everywhere. i've never had a less secure feeling. you can even leave your things on the beach. Public transport is very clean, tidy and safe. there are no louts lurking around anywhere. it is also difficult to get hold of alcohol here, so there are no drunks in public.

It's pretty much the safest place to visit in the world! Women are respected and have access to everything. It is recommended to wear clothing according to the cultural norm. It's the only country I feel completely safe in driving around at 3am in.

Extremely safe! Safest I've ever felt anywhere. - Must-do: Arabic food, Vendome Mall, The Pearl, Katara, QNL. - Quite expensive, but worth all the money. - I can't comment on accommodation as I had a private one. - Public transport is super useful, especially he metro rail. - Uber or other ride-hailing services are also easily available.

Solo travel

It was a fun experience I did feel safe The activities there are mostly in malls as it's very hot and humid, but I was told that the weather is nicer in January I stayed with a family friend, and that was a blessing The good but it depends on the cusine there's a wide variety of cuisines and cultures in Qatar Travel was mostly via Uber. You can't really walk anywhere Fun activities I did: visiting the National Museum. It was amazing. I highly recommend trying it out. I don't remember exactly how much I paid, but it was reasonable, and I believe they have student discounts if you're in Uni I also visited the islamic museum. The view there was spectacular And Souq waqif which is a huge market with lots of different kinds of shops and restaurants I highly recommend it but you have to go there at night
